![]() I did not notice if this book had a trigger warning at the beginning but it really ought to. The possible downside of this is that many of the descriptions of the emotional states leading to self-harm also seemed realistic. I liked how realistic much of Diya’s internal dialogue seemed, how the reader could see her trying to change even when she was apprehensive about it. I didn’t know much about the sport but I felt like I understood it after Boteju’s descriptions and I loved the sense of community I got from it. I also really liked the roller derby scenes. I enjoyed the diversity in this book and appreciated that it felt natural, like a real community, not like the author was ticking boxes trying to include every character. ![]() ![]() I loved Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens so when I saw that Tanya Boteju had a new novel out, I had to read it. ![]()
