Butterfly: From Refugee to Olympian - My Story of Rescue, Hope, and Triumph by Yusra Mardini
Did not finish book.
1.0
I picked this book in a book club. The title of course caught my attention, yet here I am, letting it go unfinished. Life is too short to read boring books.
I admire Mardini's persistence and her resilience. Her story is truly inspiring, but she obviously is a much better swimmer than a writer. She's good with words, I admit, but the narrative was too monotonous, telling the story in excruciating detail rather than showing it to readers. This could've been a captivating story.
