To Best the Boys by Mary Weber: A Book Review
We all know the story: boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy marries girl. The end. Drop the curtain and roll the credits. We could even play a cute little pop song and call it 'Happily Ever After' if we're feeling charitable. But in To Best the Boys by Mary Weber, we explore a vastly different ending: Boy meets girl. Girl decides to pursue higher education. Girl risks her life in a deadly, all-boys scholarship competition.
