High school is an uphill battle... especially if you run cross-country.
Juniors Krista and Elle might be have been best friends once. Not anymore. But they do have one thing in common: A distaste for school sports, and need for an athletic extracurricular on their college resumes. When they both show up to the first cross-country practice of the season, it's a surprise to both of them.
Writer and wannabe punk Krista wants nothing to do with preppy go-getter Elle, at least not anymore. But what caused the rift between the former childhood friends... and what will happen when the reason for their mutual dislike shows up with swagger?
Competitive sparks will fly, but it's going to take the two girls finding common ground if they're going to make it through junior year and fight back against the real enemy.
Content Guidance: This book explores themes around disordered eating as well as sexual harassment.
