She's always been "one of the guys", so Mara decides to join the football team with her brother, Noah, and best friend, Quinn. She turns out to be a natural. But the following week, four other girls join the team, inspired by what they see as Mara’s political statement. Now Mara’s lumped in as one of the girls—girls who can’t throw, can’t kick, and keep making statements about feminism. Complicating matters is the fact that Valentina, Mara’s crush, is one of the new players, as is Carly, Mara’s nemesis. What results is a coming-of-age story that is at once tear-jerking and funny, as Mara’s preconceived notions about gender, sports, sexuality, and friendship are turned upside down. “It’s one of the best YA — or dare I say books? — I’ve read in years.” –Autostraddle “This book is a triumphant reminder: There is no right or wrong way to be ourselves.” –Julian Winters, author of Running With Lions Add Like Other Girls on Goodreads Order Like Other Girls on Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Powells Books, or wherever books are sold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b14c1bb4fb6c244946233b/1625159886814-OELTNPR839HI0E41A1CS/1625159837.png Home - Ship It Claire is a teen fanfiction writer devoted to the show Demon Heart.
