Two states. Two sports. Three girls. One unforgettable year.
Riya and Nithiya Shankar are identical twins who share everything-except the boys they're falling for. As competitive swimmers for NASA Wildcat Aquatics, they're chasing Junior National cuts while navigating the chaos of junior year, first kisses, and the terrifying question of what comes next.
Twelve hundred miles away in Austin, Emily Donahue is a Minnesota walk-on fighting for her place on the University of Texas soccer team. With her dreams bigger than the stadium she plays in, she's about to discover that belonging isn't given-it's earned.
They don't know each other. But they're about to learn the same lesson:
The water doesn't care about crushes. The field doesn't care about doubts. Only the brave dive in.
From the NCSA Spring Championships in Orlando to the Speedo Junior Nationals in Irvine, from prom night to SEC showdowns, Ripples & Goals is a heart-pounding, laugh-out-loud journey through love, ambition, and the beautiful chaos of becoming who you're meant to be.
Perfect for fans of Never Have I Ever and Big Shot.
