Out of Step, into You

De: Ciera Burch

Narrado por: LaNecia Edmonds

Out of Step, into You is a sapphic romance following childhood friends turned cross-country team rivals who are forced to work together to win the state championship.

You can't outrun love.

Taylor and Marianna were each other's whole world—best friends, running partners, practically sisters—until Marianna moved away and Taylor ghosted her. When the former best friends turned rivals end up on the same cross-country team three years later, everything is a competition and a reminder of old feelings, as well as blossoming new ones.

Marianna runs because she's angry. The oldest child of a single mother, she knows all about responsibility—for her siblings, at her part-time job. She has to stay focused and be faster than the past nipping at her heels if she wants to secure a brighter future. With or without Taylor.

Taylor runs to prove herself. The only child of a Division 1 athlete, she's no stranger to high expectations. She knows she can immortalize herself with a state record and make her parents proud. Then, she can discover her own passion. She doesn't have time to untangle her feelings towards Mari.

Can this pair figure out a way to work together before their past catches up with them?

The cover stood out to me

From friends to rivals to teammates to more. Out of Step Into You was a sweet high school tale filled with drama and teenage angst mixed in discovering sexuality with some furry friends along the way.
