Girls of Summer

This would have been a 3 star like the previous two, but the author's obsession to put down every other team annoyed me to no end. Literally every team fakes fouls, dives and plays dirty which is why we should root for the US, I guess. It would have been so easy to make it an underdog-ish story considering they didn't manage to win the last time. And yet, the author insists on not capitalizing on that and instead makes the matches be a struggle because the other team plays dirty or the ref is being unfair. The only one not like that is the match against Japan and I wonder if it's because it's from Jamie's POV or because the author doesn't care about japan enough to hate on them. I hope the way she narrates matches changes in other future books because yikes.
