Run Like a Girl

"Dera Edwards thinks her life is over when she's shipped off to live with her estranged father in White Suburbia. But if that wasn't bad enough, Dera learns that her new school doesn't have a girls' track team, shattering her dreams of getting a track scholarship and, one day, competing in the Olympics. Not one to give up easily, Dera joins the boys' team instead. She may have the school administration's blessing, but her new teammates and classmates are less than welcoming, and her father remains frustratingly distant. Dera starts to think she's destined to be an outsider when she's approached by her classmate Rosalyn, who wants to feature Dera in her blog. Eager to gain a network of support and to spend more time with Rosalyn's gorgeous cousin Gael--who happens to be one of the few teammates who will talk to her--Dera agrees. As Dera gains attention from her classmates as well as students across the state, her new notoriety also opens the door for trolls online and at school. Paired with her deteriorating relationship with her father, Dera soon finds everything to be too much to balance. Will Dera be able to stop running from her problems, or will her dream be the very thing that derails her?"--
