At first they’re mostly rude at each other, but with time it becomes their own way of showing attachment.
That’s how Kulti and Sal start becoming friends. She’s also a pretty good person, so she can’t help but try and being nice to people, at least at first. Sal’s skin is thick though, and she doesn’t let his attitude bring her down. They say not to make eye contact with dangerous animals so that they don’t perceive you as a threat, but I said screw it I was no one’s bitch, especially not Kulti’s. He’s retired, he’s angry and rude, he doesn’t seem to care about much, and has a ego bigger than a house. Kulti’s now Sal’s team’s assistan coach, but he’s not the man he once was.
But unfortunately he’d always been out of her league, until he wasn’t. From then she’d also been obsessed with him, and developed a crush on him. Sal’s been obsessed with soccer since when she was seven, and saw Kulti’s first game. This book defies all standards we have women working their ass off on the field, they’re hot tempered, their bodies have a completely different shape than those socially accepted, but they’re beautiful nonetheless. I didn’t like people telling me I couldn’t do something, even if I didn’t want to do it. ‘I can and I will’ had been the motto I held closest to my heart at all times. She’s career driven, and she’s ready to give up on most things to reach her goal. Kulti was such a refreshing read! Finally we have a girl who’s obsessed with soccer, and it’s good at it. This was going to be the longest season of her life. “Sal, please don’t make me visit you in jail. Or the murderous urges he brought out in her. Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know. So she isn’t prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team’s season: a quiet, reclusive, shadow of the explosive, passionate man he’d once been. Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn’t known she’d existed. It didn’t take a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she’d seen in the international soccer icon-why she’d ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies. When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world.
“Trust me, I’ve wanted to punch you in the face a time or five.”
