    About this audiobook

    A toxic coach finds himself outplayed by the high school girls on his team in this deeply suspenseful novel, which unspools over twenty-four hours through six diverse perspectives.

    Tomorrow, the Wildcat varsity field hockey squad will play the first game of their new season. But at tonight’s team sleepover, the girls are all about forging the bonds of trust, loyalty, and friendship necessary to win.

    Everything hinges on the midnight initiation ceremony—a beloved tradition and the only facet of being a Wildcat that the girls control. Until now.

    Coach—a handsome former college player revered and feared in equal measure—changes the plan and spins his team on a new adventure. One where they take a rival team’s mascot for a joyride, crash a party in their pajamas, break into the high school for the perfect picture.

    But as the girls slip out of their comfort zone, so do some long-held secrets. And just how far they’re willing to go for their team takes them all—especially Coach—by surprise.

    A testament to the strength and resilience of modern teenage girls, We Are the Wildcats will have readers cheering.

      I don’t like the ending. I hate that there isn’t any resolution to a lot of the girls situations. It just reminded me how much I hate sports culture in general.
    • 4/5
      Tomorrow morning, the Wildcat varsity field hockey squad will play a scrimmage against the team that beat them in the Championship last year. Tonight is the team's sleepover, where the girls begin getting to know each other and form bonds - it's also when they get their varsity jerseys. That is until their Coach decides to twist the night up and make the team prove themselves. While the girls step out of their comfort zone, the cracks that were showing in the team open up to reveal secrets. Secrets that can change just what it means to be a Wildcat.

      At first I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of POVs there were in the story. It took me a minute to get everyone straight. Siobhan Vivian did do a good job at really showing a high school team - their worries, pressures, celebrations, and relationships. All of these girls had different worries and concerns and Vivian was able to showcase them all.

      I felt off about Coach almost when we first met him. I'm proud of the girls in the story for sticking together and helping each other see the wrong that was being done to them in multiple different ways and then sticking together to fight it. I know it's such a cliche to write girls hating on one another and that's slowly going away, but this book shows some strong female empowerment and friendships that's a good start.

      I was a little let down by the ending. I get the author left it a bit open for the reader, but I was hoping for a bit more of a BANG and instead got a bit of a sparkler.
