![]() Salomé and Reiner Kulti’s complex characters felt so realistic and relatable! I couldn’t help but admire Sal’s dedication to soccer and loved her competitive spirit. Also combined with its funny, sweet, and heartfelt moments to boot, this was a really inspiring story, and I can totally see how so many people love to re-read her books time and time again! ![]() However, with Zapata’s detailed descriptions along with the characters’ love and passion for the game, she brought me right onto the soccer field. ![]() So she isn’t prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team’s season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he’d once been.ĭiving into the world of professional women’s soccer, Kulti features a sport that I’m not that familiar with. Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man who hadn’t known she’d existed. It didn’t take a week for 27-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she’d seen in the international soccer icon – why she’d ever had his posters on her wall or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies. When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. “Trust me, I’ve wanted to punch you in the face a time or five.” ![]() Aw, Mariana Zapata can just do no wrong, and her books are definitely one of my best finds of the year! ![]()
