Dangerous Play
by Emma Kress
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Synopsis
But after Zoe is sexually assaulted at a party, she finds a new goal: make sure no girl feels unsafe again. Zoe and her teammates decide to stop playing by the rules and take justice into their own hands. Soon, their suburban town has a team of superheroes meting out punishments, but one night of vigilantism may cost Zoe her team, the championship, her scholarship, and her future.
Perfect for fans who loved the female friendships of Jennifer Mathieu’s Moxie and the bite of Courtney Summer’s Sadie.
Review
Thank you to the Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and netgalley for a review copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
There wasn't much that I didn't enjoy about this book and what I didn't like were small things but for review purposes I will still put them here. One, there were a lot of unnecessary characters in the book. We are introduced to Zoe's mom's friend group but then they don't have any significant part in the plot and we don't hear anything more from then after. They basically just pop in to say hi and are gone again. The second thing was the over use of the word "absofockinglutely". This has to be one of the most annoying words I've ever read and it's used way too much throughout the story.
I loved the lesson Zoe learns after the night of vigilantism referred to in the synopsis. It really is important. I feel like that alone could have carried the entire book by itself had it of had to.
The character arc for Zoe was done amazingly. She's tough and she's strong but she has so much to learn. Watching her grow as a character was absolutely wonderful. The characters that make up the girl's field hockey team are diverse but it isn't really talked about as much as it could have been.
The writing was good. The pacing was really good. There was a steady flow to the plot without much filler. It was fairly easy to get through and decently quick to read.
If you enjoyed the book Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu then you'll most likely enjoy this one as well. It has the same girl power spirit with a similar yet totally different cast of characters. Or if you're looking for a fictional book with teenage Feminism and girl power but haven't read Moxie, you should still give this a shot. And if you like it go read Moxie next.
