Girl in the arena

Girl in the Arena wasn't exactly what I expected based on the back cover description's focus on a fight to the death between Lyn and the gladiator who killed her father in the arena. It's mainly about the messed-up culture the Gladiator Sports Association has created and how this impacts Lyn and her family. Lyn's determined to maintain her independence when faced with their rules, even when she finds herself starting to like the awkward muscly cinnamon roll that the Gladiator Sports Association has decided she must marry.

It's one of those books that I found fun to read one time only???it was entertaining but not especially memorable to me since it didn't have the character depth or lovely prose that tends to make a book stick with me.
