The Happiest Girl in the World by Alena Dillon

4.0

I really enjoyed it. Also trigger warning for eating disorders/ disordered eating, it’s never really explicitly said but her actions say it all. Gymnasts amaze me and how they do all that to their bodies. Also it’s fictional but also definitely based off of the real things that happened to gymnasts with the doctor being a fucking predator. It also made me wonder like what it must be like to be so in love and passionate and in a way desperate for something that you neglect all other aspects of your life and sometimes fo truly awful things. But also when the book started she was young and when you’re younger you don’t know better but then you get older and have to decide what’s more important your morals or your goals.
