Thank you to the author and Flux Books for providing a physical copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was EVERYTHING! Kareena Thakkar, a badass Muay Thai fighter, tells her story in raw fashion. She often worries about sharing her passion with others in fear of being judged. When given the opportunity to attend the US Open, she begins to rethink her current strategy. We watch her navigate through friend breakups, a school crush, and even overwhelming debt. This gave me all the Dimple and Rishi vibes.... but BETTER! I can’t wait for more from Sajni Patel.
