SMASH OR PASS is…

• about a girl who goes to a beach volleyball summer camp to reinvent herself before her senior year of high school

• an exploration of autistic masking and lesbian comphet (aka compulsive heterosexuality)

• a forced proximity romance between two teammates

• about finding the people who make you feel most yourself

• inspired by my experiences as an ex-volleyball player and someone who went to summer camp for seven years

• SHE GETS THE GIRL meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB and A.L. Graziadei’s ICEBREAKER—all in a loose retelling of LEGALLY BLONDE
  

SMASH OR PASS has…

• one big unlikely found family

• an autistic main character who loves to plan things but did NOT expect anything that happened this summer

• a slowburn sapphic sunshine x grump romance

• fun chapter titles

• campfires! beach volleyball! bunk beds!

• brother + sister bonding <3

• my humour… sorry in advance!
