She's ready to lead her team to victory at the city championship in her new role as captain. Off the field, however, is a\u003ci\u003e totally\u003c\/i\u003e different story. Mel can't get a handle on her class presentation, her friend group has completely dissolved, and her ex-friend-current-teammate, Tory, is being the worst.

So what if her mom is more preoccupied with her craft projects and new husband than her, or that she's down to one IRL friend because of annoying, overly peppy \"Magic\" Mel? She's perfectly fine, and even when she maybe isn't, she's got NotEmilyD to text with. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the championships loom closer, everything around Mel and Tory starts to get more and more complicated: the dynamics on the field, the rift between their friend group, and, as they connect anonymously online, maybe even their feelings for each other . . .\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Becker \u003c\/b\u003e(she\/her) is an author and marketer living in Washington, DC.
