Stella is the star of her cross country team. After an incident at the end of last season cost her an early acceptance to Georgetown she’s even more determined to crush the competition this year.

Ellie is Stella’s younger sister. After getting tangled up with the wrong boy over the summer, she’s worried her secret will come out and ruin them both.

Mila is the new girl in town, possibly an even better runner than Stella. Her arrival knocks the whole cross country team off its axis…

A solid fast paced story. It took a bit to get into the intrigue of the book but I don’t think it was actually meant to be the main focus in the end.
Honestly, there’s nothing special about this one necessarily. It’s a decent story with good character development on the part of Stella, some character undevelopment on the part of Ellie before she goes through a change again… the mystery was predictable until it wasn’t, which I was impressed by. It’s what got it rounded up to 4 stars instead of down to 3.

Solid 3.5/5 star read
