Description
Elle le Blanc and Cayne Cook are outstanding junior basketball athletes playing for the same club. People say they’re going “all the way”– Olympics, World Championships, the NBA and the WNBA. And scholarship offers to the best colleges in America are tantalisingly close…
But beneath the talent and the hype are two teenagers trying to find their way. It’s their final year of school and any number of family problems could derail their dreams, including Elle’s mum’s struggle with depression and Cayne’s controlling dad.
And then there’s their relationship; they’ve known each other for so long, they can’t hide their truths. But when Matt Thorn comes into the picture, things change between them forever.
