But on the inside, Eve is struggling. And that’s where this novel really shines, because it isn’t *just* a blend of really good sports novel and a plucky heroine we can all cheer for. Eve is a sexual assault survivor, and also is mourning the loss of a man she loved, another hotshot racecar driver, who passed away recently (and that relationship, like everything else in the book, has some very interesting gray areas that are explored.) In between racing, Eve takes on new students, and when a fifteen year old student reveals one of her friends is in trouble, Eve realizes that there’s a sex trafficking ring operating in her small town, and that young girls are being victimized.
When the authorities won’t listen, Eve goes undercover to try to get the evidence needed to bust up the ring and protect innocent girls. This book has so many good messages. I love the way it asks hard questions, examines how abuse happens, how victims are chosen and are often not believed even when they cry out for help, and the long-term effects on survivors. The author is clearly well-versed in the subject matter and that shines through in the writing. Eve is a heroine everyone can cheer for both on and off the track, and while the subject matter in this one is gritty at times, it’s an important, outstandingly written read.
