Amanda Humann

3.5 stars

This is a cute story that moves a bit too fast. It would've benefited from more depth of the characters.
Madison and Dayton are lifelong friends who have a special sync on the soccer field. When Dayton starts to skip practices, Madison fears her own prospects for college recruitment are going to disappear.
Madison is very focused, but I wanted more depth to her. Her desire to go to a Division I school and play soccer was well-written and believable, but there wasn't much more to this girl. Even as she tries to adjust to Dayton's new lifestyle, Madison thinks only of soccer.
Humann writes some great soccer scenes. The game really comes alive on page. I've never been much of a fan of the game, but I found myself following the details with ease.
Recommendation: Fans of Miranda Keneally and Tim Green might enjoy this sports tale.… (altro)
