Mia and Cricket have always been close. The gifted daughters of a young single mother, they couldn't be more different. Responsible, academic Mia assumes the position of caregiver far too young, while star athlete Cricket seems born for soccer stardom. But the cost of achieving athletic greatness comes at a price.
As Mia and Cricket grow up, they grapple with the legacy of their mother's secret past while navigating their own precarious future. Can Mia allow herself to fall in love at the risk of repeating a terrible history? And who is Cricket outside of her ambition?
The two sisters have always shared the same dream. But now they must make an impossible choice...
A sharply observed and tender portrait of sisters, love, and ambition, Spectacular Things is a sweeping story about the impossible choices we're forced to make in pursuit of our dreams. Perfect for fans of stories about family dynamics like Blue Sisters and Hello Beautiful, as well as fans of novels about dreams and sacrifice like Beartown and Carrie Soto is Back.
