Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to awkward, self-aware protagonists who make terrible decisions for hilariously honest reasons.
You appreciate humour that doesn't punch down. Lou's observations about fitting in actually sting a bit.
You want a quick, engaging read that doesn't take itself seriously but also understands what it feels like to be a misfit.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward coming-of-age stories without absurdist elements. The fish tank sport concept might feel too silly.
You're looking for serious sports narratives or Olympic drama. This deliberately undercuts that.
You want romance or deeper character development. This is a shorter, lighter book that moves fast.

About this book

Lou Brown is a social outcast and self-described precocious failure, standing 5'10" and still growing. Once on track for Olympic stardom, Lou now finds herself training boys who won't talk to her in a sport she invented, conducted in a fish tank. Lou's life has become increasingly strange. This YA debut explores her experience of trying to figure out where she belongs in the world.
