Playing side by side for their high school basketball team, Mack and Liv discover an electrifying, game-winning chemistry on the court. Off the court, they fall into an equally intoxicating more-than-friendship—one that feels out-of-bounds in their small Pennsylvania town. Mack teeters on the precipice of adulthood as desire and grief collide with drugs, sex, and the looming college signing deadline. Caught between the dual impulses of ambition and self-destruction, Mack must decide what kind of life they want to fight for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten with the lush longing of André Aciman’s Call Me by Your Name, the obsessive attention of Jean Kyoung Frazier’s Pizza Girl, and the sweeping romance of the beloved film Love \u0026amp; Basketball, A Sharp Endless Need is a stunning testament to the big feelings of coming of age, falling in love, and, of course, playing sports.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[[[About the Author]]] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_14 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_14 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5953079d414fb5cdc59494f0\/07f424a7-2bd4-4402-9129-1ee868bfbf70\/author+photo.JPG\" alt=\"Marisa Crane Interview — Pigeon Pages\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; float: left;\" width=\"173\" height=\"216\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarisa Crane is a former college basketball player and the author of I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself, a New York Times Editors’ Choice, Indie Next pick, and winner of a LAMBDA Literary Award.
