Über diesen Titel

Dangerous secrets. A toxic workplace. And an unsolved murder. . . . A football professional reckons with the choices that made her career in the boys' club world of sports possible in this riveting and sharp Friday Night Lights meets I Know What You Did Last Summer debut

Poppy Benjamin, Media Relations Director of Syracuse's storied NFL team, the Bobcats, fought tooth and nail for her career. Ever since her intern season fifteen years ago, it's been nothing but early mornings, late nights, barely dodged inappropriate advances, and relationships lost with boyfriends who didn't get it. That's why Poppy relies on the Women Against Groping Shitheads, a support network that knows her far better than her own family. In-house counsel for an NBA team, a celebrated reporter—all of the W.A.G.S. are high-ranking women in sports who need a release from the indignities and frustrations that come with navigating the ultimate boys’ club.

But on the very same morning that Poppy’s legendary head coach is found dead in his home, five notes threatening tell the truth or pay the consequences hit the W.A.G.S. like 300-pound linemen. Who's aware of the little group they've tried their best to keep under wraps, and what reason would they have to threaten it? As long-buried secrets are brought to light, Poppy is forced to revisit a dangerous mistake from the start of her career that puts everything she's built at risk.

An unmissable novel about responsibility, regret, clouded moral compasses, and the ins and outs of professional football.

Kritikerstimmen

"Elizabeth Staple's The Snap is a no-holds-barred exploration of women in a male-dominated industry, the importance of friendships to get us through, and the dark side of ambition. Told with the precision and tension of a thriller, this clever debut is filled with wit, razor-sharp insight and an unflinching gaze at what happens when women want more. In short: I loved it."—Ashley Tate, internationally bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes

The Snap takes us off the field, through the locker room, and into the corporate halls of power, where a woman at the top of her game is forced to confront the cost of her success. . . . I may not be a football fan, but I’m emphatically an Elizabeth Staple fan.”—Isabel Kaplan, author of NSFW

"It's so hard to explain the frenetic, cutthroat and batshit crazy world of sports to the uninitiated, but Elizabeth Staple provides the most bang-on, behind-the-curtains peek about what life is like on the inside. A smart and propulsive trip beyond the sidelines that is both razor-sharp and wickedly funny, The Snap illustrates the complexity of navigating one of the most unorthodox workplaces with both nuance and acerbic wit. Every woman who has ever worked in sports will recognize herself, and her own tribe of industry confidants, in this book."—Katie Strang, Senior Writer, Investigations and Enterprise, The Athletic
