What Supergirl Did Next

Girlfriend Fiction #14

by Thalia Kalkipsakis

'I was very clear about my future from here - first, nail my floor routine; next, qualify for the state squad, and finally, compete at the Australian Championships. It was all so sharp - my path lit with a spotlight that put everything else in dreary shadows.'
Jade is a girl who knows what she wants. She knows how to get it too. But when a knee injury interrupts her plans, she feels lost and unsure. It's a bad time to get her annoyed.
When a sexist remark gets her blood boiling, Jade thinks she's found something to fight for. If she sets up a race to prove that girls aren't soft, then maybe she'll also prove to herself that she can still find The Zone. But will her single-minded approach to proving her point win her the race, and the boy? Or will she learn that maybe - just maybe - winning isn't everything?

About the author

Thalia grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Melbourne with a mum who tried to save battery hens by on-selling them as backyard chickens. Her dad worked as an industrial chemist while also growing strawberries, carrots and Christmas trees on the farm. It was not unusual to find plant shoots in the freezer, or the hair dryer missing because it was needed to heat one of her dad’s experiments. Thalia's childhood showed her the magic that can happen when science and nature combine with human creativity.
In 2012, Thalia released her first standalone young adult novel, Silhouette, which follows a talented and determined young dancer as she navigates her way into the adult world of commercial dance.
These days, Thalia lives in regional Victoria with her husband, their two children and two black cats.

What a awesome installment into the Girlfriend Fiction. I really love Jade, a strong, arrogant girl, who finds out the hard way that life has its up and down but at the end of the tunnel there is a light. I seriously think that this book taught me a lesson in life and it really got me there. It felt so real, like this could really happen to me.
A really good book to read, btw the ending is just beautiful and breathtakingly romantic! =)

I loved this book. I literally read it all the same day I borrowed it from the library.
It took me in and I finished feeling all the emotions Jade felt, which to me means that the author did their job.
Its a light novel but I good read.
