It takes for Sal to finally approach him and tell him to pull his head out of his arse before he starts doing his job. He does nothing but stands on the sidelines and watch.
He doesn’t want to be there and makes it bloody obvious. Kulti comes into the Piper’s world as the assistant coach. The first half of the story had poo mentioned quite a bit. She is almost tongue tied and the only way she can stop herself from being a blathering fool is to remind herself over and over again that Kulti poos and wees.
She also has to get past the fact that Kulti broke her brother’s leg years ago when they were playing soccer on opposing teams. Sal just wants to play soccer and when Kulti joins as an assistant coach, she must learn to treat him as normal, not as her first love and the man she was going to marry (in her head.she was very little). Her determination and focus was easy to believe and the highs and lows of dealing with her young girl crush as a coach, on a daily basis, were interesting.
If I was to find fault with the narration, the only difficulty I had was when the main character switched between dialogue and inner monologue. Anyways, the narrator did a fabulous job talking with different accents and I had no problems identifying when a character changed. I find American women, in general, have very young and sweet voices. I did at times think she sounded a bit too young, but that could have more to do with her having an American accent. The narrator has an easy voice to listen to. I was sucked in and desperate to see how things would play out. As this is a fairly long story, I thought it would take me a lot longer to listen than it did. I had to really pay attention and I couldn’t stand leaving it for more than 24 hours. In this case, I was listening to it first. Then, I had an idea…why don’t I get the audio and listen to it instead? Normally, when I listen to an audio book I’ve previously read the story. One thing leads to another and poor old Kulti got pushed back again and again. Hmmm, not really convinced to jump right in, think I’m going to hold off for a bit.
It’s a slllooooA female in sports…is she butch (don’t judge, it was my first thought)? No, definitely not butch, more determined, hard-working and extremely motivated…she also gives herself a facial each week. When I heard that she had a new book coming out I was really excited. I had read Under Locke by Mariana Zapata and really, really enjoyed it.
