Camila Hassan is used to living in the shadow of her fútbol star brother, Pablo. But she has a big secret: she too is a fútbol star, known as La Furia on the field.
Set in Rosario, Argentina, this is the story of Camila's careful navigation of her dreams and desires, and the expectations that are so heavily placed on her. In her patriarchal society and family, respectable young women are not athletes. When her fútbol team qualifies for an important South American tournament, though, Camila's secret becomes much harder to keep. Facing pressure from her boyfriend (another fútbol star, who has left the barrio to play soccer professionally in Italy), her teammates (who depend upon her on the field) and her family, Camila is forced to make choices that will impact not just her, but her community as a whole.
I loved the mix of on the field adrenaline with the character-driven story of one young woman meeting and defying narrow expectations. It's also a great romance!
This book is available via Sora and CloudLibrary. Happy reading!
