Why We Fly by Gilly Segal, Kimberly Jones
4.0
This book was incredible.
It follows two high school cheerleaders learning to balance their careers and roles as students With what they believe in, what they know is right. When their school tries to silence their movement, what choices do they make?
Both the protagonists were strong ans flawed individuals that readers could easily relate to, and the passion in the story was something that translates directly to the real world. This book is one everyone should read.
The writing is poetic and strong, it holds relatable aspects and inspiring quotes and everything you need for a strong novel.
The only struggle I had was there was so little descriptive language I was halfway through the book before I realized which girl was which on the cover, and that felt incredibly important to the story.
The irony at the beginning of the book is that Leni is a cheerleader (flyer) struggling with concussion after effects and an injured ankle, working hard to get back into the air. And my sister is a cheerleader struggling with many concussion after affects and two screwed up ankles trying to get back to cheering
