REVIEW
  This story was so beautiful and well written, I didn't noticed it had long chapters. The books had so many things involved, from sports, emotional challenges, psychological challenges, love, friendship, self harm, family. 
   There were so many loveable characters from Susie, harry, amber including Dave. I learnt from the book that a lot of athletic suffer various. Challenges from teens down to adults. Susie was no different, she suffered from both psychological and emotional challenges though not serious, but it weighed heavily on her, especially with how Dave trained her and treated her like garbage.That is until she met Harry, who in somewhere made her find comfort and less doubt on herself. 
   Harry who has bipolar also found comfort in Susie since being with her help him both psychologically and emotionally. Though love bloomed it didn't last very long, as they were faced with obstacles and Susie was so naive and selfish that she couldn't see that everything isn't about her that others around her care for her, yet they are also faced with challenges of their own. 

*I was disappointed that Susie and Harry couldn't continue with the relationship, though still happy that they remained friends
*am happy that Susie finally chose to be happy and put her health first
*though she did stop swimming, but am glad she started it again with a coach who understands her. 
*I love that she didn't judge Harry just because he has bipolar, but instead she chose to be with him and support him
  The story is fast paced, beautifully written from a first POV.

I highly recommend this book.
