People have been talking about this book for ages. I have been meaning to reading it for ages.

I finally picked it up over the weekend, and what a delight!

We all have those horrid high school nightmares. Some people grow up when they leave school, other are still b!tchy mean girls who never moved on with life. Yeah, you know the ones.

You never know how far you can go until you hit rock bottom and can only go onwards and upwards.

I loved that Marley hit her rock bottom, got up, wiped herself off and then kicked some bottom. It did annoy my how much she focused on the one thing in school that she should have left behind, but took to the end for that to happen.

I adore the female empowerment in this story. How she and the girls she coaches learn to persevere, to life each other up not drag each other down. And I love loved loved that Marley didn't give two sh!ts about what people thought she should do, and did what everyone around her was afraid to.

In fact, she almost made me want to go for a jog - almost!

All through reading I thought of Jake Weston as being Jake Ryan to Marley's Samantha Baker (I know, Sixteen Candles, showing my age!)

This book left me smiling. It has made me want to go and read all of her books now!
