What a delightful read! I loved diving into the world of gymnastics, especially with the 2020 Olympics being postponed. But this book was more than just an Olympic story. Orenstein went there with the mental health & sexual abuse topics. I love that while Avery was recovering from her own post-career depression, she was helping Hallie on her mental health journey & creating a safe space for gymnasts with her foundation. Plus, the romance was so sweet. Sometimes, to find yourself, you have to go back home, back to the beginning. Avery’s return to Summit changed her whole life & gave her what she’d been seeking.
Moderate: Sexual assault
