The 7-10 Split

When Grace Jones walks back into Ava Williams's life—and straight into the same Georgia high school where Ava has built her entire career—the last thing either of them expects is to be forced into sharing a bowling lane. Or a coaching position.

Years ago, Ava and Grace were inseparable: best friends, fellow bowling obsessives, and the kind of duo that finished each other's sentences. Then one confusing, earth-tilting kiss shattered everything, and Grace disappeared. Now she's back, and the easy warmth they once shared has curdled into something sharp and competitive—which is fine, really, because Ava has moved on. Completely. Obviously.

What Ava hasn't moved on from is the bowling program she spent years fighting to bring to their school. So when the principal hands Grace the head coaching position on a silver platter, Ava's carefully maintained indifference explodes into something far more dangerous: full-blown rivalry. The compromise? They'll co-coach. Together. Every single day.

This charming LGBTQ+ romantic comedy set against the surprisingly cutthroat world of high school bowling captures the delicious tension of two women who know each other too well and not nearly well enough. Karmen Lee and Amina Sali craft a story full of sharp wit, slow-burn longing, and the kind of stubborn hearts that need to lose before they can win.

Because sometimes the most impossible shot—the 7-10 split—is the only one worth taking.
