Competitive swimming rules Brynn's (The Summer of Firsts and Lasts) life, with school and friendship far in the back seat. After learning secrets about her deceased father and getting involved with a hot college swimmer, Brynn is pushed to reassess her extreme self-discipline. Readers will both admire the protagonist's athleticism and pity her obsessiveness in McVoy's story about personal growth and balancing priorities.
