Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein
4.0
3.5 ⭐ rounding up to 4.
This was a quick, enjoyable read. I really liked the depth of knowledge the author has about elite gymnastics, and this book did decent job of portraying how the abuse of athletes has been institutionally sanctioned through apathy and willful ignorance. The main character's struggle to find purpose and a new sense of belonging is relatable to those who have had to seriously alter course in life, and the romance was sweet, although the main male character didn't have a ton of depth and the dialogue was lackluster at times.
