Am not entirely a sports person even with books of it, but this was SO Good. A coming of age story with an own voice representation.
We see Camilla who secretly plays futbol and a powerhouse in the field with her teammates while living with her abusive father who's only interested in the money football would bring as her brother who's also in the field is constantly being taunted to be do more and more by their father. And her mother's expectations too while she keeps trying to being submissive to the abuse and cheating husband.
Set in a deeply sexist patriarchal environment of Rosario, Argentina where girls as young as 12 are constantly disappearing and found dead as a result of rape and no justice being for them, Camila is determined to focus on her talent despite even a love interest see where it takes her.
I loved the teamwork of Camilla and her teammates while on the field.
And there's Camila with her resilience and mature thinking. It was refreshing to see her stick to her dreams of going through with it despite being deeply in love with Diego who's an international football player and obviously was determined to make life better for her while forgoing her own dreams.
An absolute feminist theme this is while combating violence on women
