Fierce: How Competing for Myself Changed Everything by Aly Raisman

5.0

I loved this book so much more than I expected. Whenever the Olympics are on, I love watching and following the stories of the competing athletes, but until I read Fierce, I never truly knew what it meant to make it to the Olympics.

Aly Raisman’s writing is so honest that I had a hard time putting her book down. I really was shocked by the sacrifices she and other athletes had to make in order to compete on the Olympic stage. It also gave me great insight into the sport of gymnastics and a much deeper appreciation for the dedication these women show.

I recommend this book to any lover of athletics, the Olympic Games, or people who love a great story of determination beating the odds.
