Avery Larson has spent her entire life chasing one dream: the Olympics.
As a star forward for the Minnesota Golden Gophers women's ice hockey at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, her days are a constant balancing act of brutal morning practices, college classes, and the pressure to prove she belongs among the best hockey players in the country. When Avery receives the life-changing call that she's been selected for the United States Olympic training camp, everything she's worked for suddenly feels within reach.
But the closer the Games get, the more complicated her world becomes.
Between media attention, the weight of representing her country, and the uncertainty of what comes after college, Avery is forced to figure out who she is beyond the ice.
Then she meets Alysa Liu.
Alysa is everything Avery isn't-graceful where Avery is powerful, calm where Avery thrives on chaos. A figure skating prodigy expected to dominate the Olympics, Alysa lives in a completely different athletic world.
Yet when their paths unexpectedly cross, a quiet friendship begins to grow into something neither of them saw coming.
