A fearless debut novel about a women's cross country team and how far girls will push themselves to control their bodies, friendships, and futures "This novel is a wild, brave run through the dark, and the ending might stir you to tears."-Eric Puchner, New York Times bestselling author of Dream State We loved running because it was who we were, who we'd been in high school, who we hoped to be in futures we couldn't yet imagine. Strong and fast. Fast and strong. At Frost, a small liberal arts college in Massachusetts, the runners on the women's cross country team have their sights set on the 1992 New England Division Three Championships and will push themselves through every punishing workout and skipped meal to achieve their goal. But Kristin, the team's star, is hiding a secret about what happened over the summer, and her unpredictable behavior jeopardizes the girls' chance to win. Team Captain Danielle is convinced she can restore Kristin's confidence, even if it means burying her own past. As the final meet approaches, Kristin, Danielle, and the rest of the girls must transcend their individual circumstances and run the race as a team. Told from the perspective of the six fastest team members, We Loved to Run deftly illuminates the intensity of female friendship and desire and the nearly impossible standards young women sometimes set for themselves. With startling honesty and boundless empathy, Stephanie Reents reveals how girls-even those in competition-find ways to love one another and turn feelings of powerlessness into shared strength and self-determination.
