![]() The connection, the inevitability only gets more obvious when Jess convinces Lauren to coach her until she has to leave for Japan. Palpable in every word, every look, every breath. Ten years later, Jess comes back to Buffalo a couple of months before the Tokyo Olympics and the chemistry between them, now that they’re women and not a child and a young adult anymore, is stronger than ever. She lets her down ever so gently and even agrees to go out on a date with her in the future, when Jess is on her first run to the Olympics. Lauren is not only brilliant, she’s also kind, and doesn’t tease or make fun of the younger athlete when she tries to kiss her. She’s also queer and has the biggest crush on her eighteen-year-old team captain Lauren. But fencing? Probably my favourite.Īt thirteen, Jess is already a fencing prodigy. I love sports romances, any sports, even sports I don’t know (read my review of Catch and Cradle for my thoughts on Lacrosse). Women with swords, do I need to say more? Probably not but I do have a lot to say about this book. ![]()
