I wanted so much to love this book. I competed in speech and debate in both high school and college. Most of us were social “outcasts” and found solace and a sense of family from fellow team members.
However, I couldn’t get behind how the entire team was so off put by comments their coach said them that it shaped their future relationships so. Especially with them being non-conforming in high school, that surely they have been called worse on a weekly basis. The character bonds were weak. The storyline was weak, it was just a painful book that was so generic in topic that it could have been titled The Badminton Team and substituted that with speech and it wouldn’t have affected the story at all.
