Her friends, her future, and her father's intense expectations are all wrapped up in the beautiful game. But after she incites a fight during playoffs with her long-time rival, Leticia Ortiz, everything she's been working toward seems to disappear. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmbarrassed and desperate to be anywhere but home, Vale escapes to her beloved childhood soccer camp for a summer of relaxation and redemption...only to find out that she and the endlessly aggravating Leticia will be co-captaining a team that could play in front of college scouts. But the competition might be stiffer than expected, so unless they can get their rookie team's act together, this second chance--and any hope of playing college soccer--will slip through Vale's fingers. When the growing pressure, friendship friction, and her overbearing father push Vale to turn to Leticia for help, what starts off as a shaky alliance of necessity begins to blossom into something more through a shared love of soccer. . . and maybe each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSharp, romantic, and deeply emotional, \u003ci\u003eYou Don't Have a Shot\u003c\/i\u003e is a rivals-to-lovers romance about rediscovering your love of the game and yourself, from the author of \u003ci\u003eOphelia After All\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eYou Don't Have a Shot\u003c\/i\u003e has every ingredient that makes rivals-to-lovers such a great trope, but it's also so much more.
