Wow!! That hits close to home. As someone who witnessed a shouting match between a soccer parent and coach, this is a must read.

This novel has raised so many thoughts in me. Is it worth it for my anxiety prone teen is one

As the mother of a teen and a grown daughter who did dance competitions, the parent living vicariously through their children is real! Its a fine line between support, encouragement and letting children be their own person. This sounds like a great relevant read!

Sounds like an interesting read. Parental stress, competition, the developing personalties of teenagers brings it close to home

Ooh it sounds controversial. The vagaries of parenting and as a parent what we demand of our children whether we realise it or not. The demands and sacrifices to be an elite athlete too, but it sounds like this will all be raised and entertain us. Love to read it!

It would be great to take with me on a trip to Brisbane with my daughter when she has to attend a hospital appointment at the Children’s Hospital. It will pass the time during the flight.

I start commuting to the city next month, I’d love to start reading to pass the time!

I love reading & I also enjoy sports.

It sounds both inspiring and intriguing.

This is not a book that I would normally choose off a shelf to read, so it is good for me to read books that are not by my favourite usual authors and to put myself out of my reading comfort zone to expand my literary horizon

Because I like drama books

It sounds like a great story with a lot to teach children

In “Sidelines” I’d like to delve, with tales of love and nature’s spell. Karen Viggers weaves a tale so fine, it’s like a glass of aged wine. So if I win this book, oh what a treat, adventure and emotions, it’ll be hard to beat!

I am always looking for a new read, and something that is a little relatable is so good to get lost in

I’d love to win a copy of “Sidelines” to explore its insightful portrayal of the complexities within junior sports culture, from parental pressures to the dynamics between players. The novel promises a gripping narrative that delves into timely themes, offering a thought-provoking read on the challenges of competitive youth sports.

I have seen Many parents lose their s&!t at games and at dancing at many other sports, Its sad to see, and the embarrassment on their children’s faces, so I would love to read it, so I might be able to handle these parents better, but I might just give them the book to read aswell.

I’d love to win “Sidelines” by Karen Viggers for a poignant exploration of human connection, resilience, and the intricate beauty of nature, offering a captivating narrative that will linger in your mind long after you turn the last page.

I love to read,

Would love to get another take on the sports parents from hell, kids and coaches! I have seen it all, some are truly terrifying!

I need something to capture me and let me have 5 minutes of mum time alone
