"""Clever, quippy dialogue and enjoyable first-person voice make the sassy, inner-monologuing Lucy a pleasure of a protagonist...A sweet, sincere look at the complexities of female friendship between competitive athletes. This book tackles a lot and scores at every turn."" --Booklist Seventeen-year-old Lucy ""Lucky"" Graves is devoted to her championship rugby team, but her dreams of a scholarship are destroyed when she breaks her ankle during an important game. If it doesn't heal properly, Lucy could be benched for the rest of the year. Goodbye pro career, goodbye college, goodbye future. Without rugby, who is she?
