Gimme Everything You Got
Synopsis
"One part Judy Blume, one part Amy Schumer, Gimme Everything You Got is incredibly warm, bracingly frank, and laugh-out-loud hilarious. I didn't want the game to end." --Katie Cotugno, New York Times bestselling author of 99 Days
It's 1979--the age of roller skates and feathered bangs, Charlie's Angels and Saturday Night Fever--and Susan Klintock is a junior inhigh school with a lot of sexual fantasies ... but not a lot of sexual experience.No boy--at least not any she knows--has been worth taking a shot on.
That is, until Bobby McMann arrives.
Bobby is foxy, he's charming ... and he's also the coachof the brand-new girls' soccer team. Sure, he's totally, 100 percent, completely off limits. Sure, Susan doesn't stand a chance. But that doesn'tmean she can't try out for the team to get closer to him, and Susan Klintockhas always liked a challenge.
Between the endless drills and grueling practices, Susandiscovers something else: She might actually love soccer. But being a part ofthe first girls' team at school means dealing with other challenges.
Asfriendships shifts, she finds her real passions might lie in places she didn'texpect when the season began--and that discovering who she is will mean taking risks, both on and off the pitch.
Love. Lust. Soccer. Acclaimed author Iva-Marie Palmer returns with a fresh, funny, feminist coming-of-age comedy about learning to take your shot on the things that truly matter.
