Gold by Chris Cleave
2.0

This was on track to be a four-star book for me; the characters were so interesting and well-defined, and the world of olympic cycling was captivating. But then came a plot twist that I just hated. It wasn't needed and it made the story reminiscent of a lifetime television for women. Not necessarily awful, if that is what you are in the mood for, but after the first half of the book, it was not what I was in the mood for.
