Fresh out of university with a journalism degree and far more anxiety than experience, Juliette Laurent lands her dream job at one of New York's biggest magazines. There's just one problem: in a moment of panic during her interview, she lies about knowing sports. Thrown into the sports department with no idea what she's doing, Juliette survives her first weeks by secretly googling basketball terminology between interviews and stuffing confusing statistics into articles she hopes sound convincing. But when a senior reporter suddenly quits, the magazine makes a risky decision: sending Juliette to Connecticut to cover the most anticipated season in women's college basketball. UCONN's senior class is expected to dominate the year, and all eyes are on their star player-Paige Bueckers. Talented, magnetic, and already treated like a future legend, Paige is exactly the kind of athlete Juliette should keep a professional distance from. But how are you supposed to keep your distance from someone when your entire job is to expose them to the world-both on and off the court? And what happens when the person hidden behind the headlines starts feeling impossible to let go of?

And if this is the long haul, how'd we get here so soon? (Coney Island - Taylor Swift)
