#GIRLFIGHT by Suzanne McKenna Link is a new adult fiction novel centered around Jayden Jones, a determined young woman navigating the chaos of love, loss, and ambition. After discovering her boyfriend's betrayal, Jayden returns home, grappling with grief from her coach’s death and unresolved feelings for her first love, Cooper. A reality TV offer to face her ex’s new girlfriend in the MMA ring pushes Jayden into the spotlight, forcing her to fight for her dignity, career, and a second chance at love. Link has crafted a fiercely relatable and resilient protagonist in Jayden, whose personal and emotional battles mirror the physical ones in the ring in this really exciting and original novel.
