medium-paced

4.5

Wow! I picked this book up on a whim and I’m so glad I did. As a life-long lover of gymnastics, this story set against the backdrop of the sport, the olympics and the abuses that have come to light was amazing. It was the perfect blend of addressing the shortcomings of the gymnastics world as well as setting the stage for change and the possibility of a romance. 

Any story where I can see women standing up for each other, becoming healthier and pursuing healing is a win for me.
