You Don't Have a Shot

4 Stars

I gave the book four stars because of Valentina. Initially, I really did not like her. As the book progressed, she grew on me because she began to grow as a person. The writing is solid, so that is what helped me power through the first 30% of the book. I'm not a big contemporary YA reader, so this book has convinced me to give this genre a chance. I loved Leticia's banter; she was my favorite character in this book. Vale had some fun barbs, but Leticia's retorts were so great. The book also delved into some hard topics, such as grief and an emotionally abusive parent. Racquel Marie wrote this book with such care that I'm excited to see what she does next.

Thank you to Turn the Page Tours for an advanced copy of this book for my voluntary review.

I really loved Racquel Marie's first book and I was so excited to get to this one! As someone who never had any interest in team sports, I still had a good time reading about the soccer camp the main character goes to because this book is about so much more than soccer. Romance isn't usually what I'm dying to read, but enemies to lovers is normally what I gravitate towards. Racquel effortlessly adds representation to her books. Absolutely going to read everything she publishes in the future!
