À propos de cette écoute
A propulsive and nostalgic coming-of-age novel about an all-consuming relationship between two teammates on a girls’ high school basketball team, from the Lambda Literary Award-winning author of I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself
“Brilliant . . . so alive and vibrating that it took my breath away.”—Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
Star point guard Mack Morris’s senior year of high school begins with twin cataclysms: the death of her father and the arrival of transfer student Liv Cooper. On the court, Mack and Liv discover an electrifying, game-winning chemistry; off the court, they fall into an equally intoxicating more-than-friendship that is out-of-bounds for their small Pennsylvania town in 2004, and for Liv’s conservative mother. As Mack’s desire and grief collide with drugs, sex, and the looming college signing deadline, she is forced to reckon with the disconnect between her past and her future—and fight for the life she wants for herself, whether or not Liv will be on the court beside her.
Written with the lush longing of André Aciman’s Call Me by Your Name, the obsessive attention of Jean Kyoung Frazier’s Pizza Girl, and all the romance and feeling of the beloved 2000 movie Love & Basketball, Marisa Crane’s sophomore novel is a voice-driven, literary treatment of the big feelings of first love, intimacy, heartbreak, grief, and, of course, sports.

Commentaires
“Crane is fearless, ferocious, and blessed with the kind of vision that lets you see everything in real time and find your way to something exceptional.”—Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
“Sometimes the universe sends you a book written by someone else that feels like it’s been written just for you. As a former basketball player myself, Crane’s follow-up to I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself is an alley-oop from the literary gods: perfectly pitched and right when it’s needed most. . . . Full of beauty and brawn.”—Michelle Hart for Electric Literature, “The Most Anticipated Queer Books for Spring 2025”
“Crane tackles grief, sexuality, drugs, and the push-and-pull between the past and the future in a complicated, intricate narrative. This is the perfect read for fans of literary fiction and a good, complicated, character-driven story.”—Queerty, “16 LGBTQ+ Books to Add to Your Must-Read List in 2025”
