A review by rebeccajay
Gold by Chris Cleave

4.0

I thought Gold perfectly captured the sense of competition women feel- even with our own friends. We want to be the best at our jobs, have the perfect husband and family- we want to have it all. But alas, the grass is always greener. An Olympic gold medalist wants a husband and child, while another athlete gives up her Olympic dreams to care for her sick child. I thought the pacing of this book was great, there were a few unexpected big reveals- I really enjoyed it. It wasn't Little Bee; but it was still excellent in its own right.
