In Liezl Shnookal's gripping novel, Nikki vs Jess, two young women find themselves locked in a fierce competition at the pool table, where
neither is willing to be the loser. Beyond the white ball, they wage a battle against the oppressive gender norms of the 1980s, each blazing
her own unconventional trail.
Nikki's passion for cars thrusts her into an all-male industry, where she fights tooth and nail to protect her dream job. Jess, on the other hand,
rejects traditional values and expectations, wanting to make her own life choices. As they navigate unrelenting pressure and opposition, their
friendship is tested.
