⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5 for Chris Crutcher’s newest. I have been reading his stuff since I was in high school, and I was super excited to read his latest. Annie is a high school senior who has been through the foster system more times than she can count. Her mom, Nancy, keeps losing her and then temporarily cleaning herself up, and the cycle has landed Annie is a good permanent foster home. The problem is, Annie can’t quit Nancy. She seeks out every sport she can possibly try and takes the long way around (through the losers bracket) in order to give Nancy chances to see her. When the stakes rise, Annie has to decide if her bio mom will really ever give her what she needs, or if she needs to truly move on. Recommended for grades 9+.
