Capsized by Charlotte Lillie BaloghPub date Sept 8th, 2026This feisty coming of age Drama/Mystery captures cutthroat toxic sports culture AND heartfelt friendships and sisterhood born from unexpected circumstances. It's also a page turner with amazing messages throughout. Highly recommend!I've always worried about reading fiction centered around sports, because I'm not one for the sports. I did, however, join a dragonboat team one summer (pictures for proof) and had the best time! That being said, even if you haven't done a sport in your life, I believe you'll still very much enjoy this read!This book is just as addictive as binging the Lying Game or Pretty Little Liars (whether in book or show form) and it very much had those vibes!Also, It needs to be said that I was vocally cheering on these amazing characters with tears in my eyes at the end!Soon to be adapted for Hulu, by the producer of Pretty Little Liars!
