(3) YA Nate Dravus feels overshadowed by his soccer star sister and dreams of basketball glory. His skills improve after connecting with his talented neighbor Lucas, but a tragic accident changes everything. While the novel effectively explores Nate’s emotional growth and the complexities of friendship, Lucas’s and his twin sister’s characters feel somewhat like plot mechanisms. Though the conclusion’s emotional distance may leave some readers frustrated, the story’s pacing and short chapters keep it engaging. A solid sports read.
