The fine line between depicting Midwesterners accurately and making them stereotypes got crossed a lot--a scene over a family dinner in Wisconsin? Of course they're eating bratwurst!
On the whole, this was fairly one note, with many unresolved details. It's a quick read though, which is why I finished it.

It's very weird to put someone fictional into real events and to have them swirl around her. I went back and forth between liking and disliking that. Overall it's very well
paved and extremely captivating, as well as honest about elite sports. The one thing I hated was the adult style narration when she was supposed to be 11 years old

My only complaint would be that the ending felt rushed. I feel like we didn't get a resolve in Sera's character development. The story ended with a nice bow and just ended. I wish the author would have given more a dynamic ending and more final character development to Sera.
