She ends up joining the school tennis club, which opens up a lot of opportunities for Maguire, including forging new friendships and a relationship with cute tennis star, Jordy. However, when her grandmother decides to hold an event to commemorate the 5 year anniversary of the death of Maguire’s family members, she decides to take treatment seriously in order to overcome her fears.
She’s unable to take public transport or be in public/crowded areas without feeling anxious and typically avoids being around people by staying in her own room. As a result of a few too many incidents, including one that killed her father, uncle and older brother, Maguire has distanced herself from the world and developed OCD. Bad things tend to happen to people when Maguire is around. Girl Against the Universe follows Maguire, a girl who may be cursed. I thoroughly enjoyed the friendships, romance and character development in this story. I enjoyed this contemporary novel so, so much! It was a really fun and uplifting read that’s also kind of perfect for summer. But it turns out staying away may be harder than she thought. Maguire knows that the best thing she can do for Jordy is to stay away. Jordy is confident, talented, and lucky, and he’s convinced he can help Maguire break her unlucky streak. But then she meets Jordy, an aspiring tennis star. It’s safest for Maguire to hide out in her room, where she can cause less damage and avoid new people who she could hurt. Or that time her brother, father, and uncle were all killed in a car crash-and Maguire walked away with barely a scratch. Or the time the house next door caught on fire. Like that time the roller coaster jumped off its tracks. No matter how many charms she buys off the internet or good luck rituals she performs each morning, horrible things happen when Maguire is around.
