Summer Breakdown (Training Seasons #2)

This summer is Frankie’s. She’s an overprepared Black lesbian, and her rugby team is a few months away from doing the unthinkable: being promoted to the premiership. Somehow, she’s still happy, healthy, and at least half alive. To get here, she’s spent her entire life with structure.

Jasmine is using this summer as a fresh start. She’s spent her life hiding who she is, and she’s not doing it anymore. She packs up her children and runs to the prettiest place she can find. Toulshire is cute, so starting her life over at almost thirty isn’t the worst thing she’s had to do. But making friends as an adult may be…

That is, until Frankie leaves without a word, and Jasmine attempts to forget all about her and her ridiculous arms.

Jasmine’s son joining the Titans’ junior team is something neither saw coming.

This summer was supposed to change their lives, but will it be for the better, or are they headed for a breakdown?
