When shy and friendly, 18 year old Maire also known as her nickname "Five" wins a ticket from a cereal box. And not just any ticket, a USWNT special ticket that lets the winner go to their games, train with the team, and even be one of their players for the whole season! When Maire finds out that she is the winner, she decides to turn it down since she is not a "big" fan of soccer. 

---------------------------

However, when Maire finds out that she can't turn down such a big opportunity, she decides to join in. Traveling to where the USWNT are training and staying at, she is at first excited and shy to meet them, but is too embarrassed when she can't do anything right, when it comes to soccer and training with the team,  playing with the team, or even hanging out with the team (as a normal person). That changes until fellow USWNT players Hope Solo, Lauren Cheney, Amy Rodriguez and a former USWNT coach, Coach April Heinrichs, decided to help train Maire, with the help of Mal Pugh, and the other USWNT players. When Maire sees that being a soccer player isn't an easy job, she then realizes that there is more than just playing soccer in the game than to love it, but it's also the team's socializing efforts, and valuable teamwork, that puts the game in its place.

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance
