i think i know more about gymnastics than you do genius. spent the whole book pointing out the inaccuracies (but also kicking my feet and giggling bc it’s my exact niche and i loved it). loved that i am technically canon in this book bc i went to olympic trials in st louis.

I actually think the romance was minor here in comparison to the conversations about sports environments including emotional abuse, sexual abuse, toxic relationships between our mental well-being and our bodies.
