Wow wow wow. Das war mal ein Buch voller Gänsehaut. Ich habe so so sehr mitgefiebert und jedes Wort der Geschichte einfach nur gefühlt. Wer Fan von Olympia ist, für den wird das Buch auf jeden Fall etwas sein. Ein richtiger Einblick, in die Gedanken der Sportler und die Abläufe von Olympia, die man sonst als Zuschauer nicht so mitbekommt. Ich liebs sehr und wünschte es gäbe so ein Buch zu jeder Sportart. Das hat einfach Spaß gemacht und war wundervoll zu Lesen.

This was a great book that centers around Audrey Lee, a gymnast trying to make the US Olympic team. Recovering from a serious injury, her world as well as those of her teammates is turned upside down when their coach is arrested for sexual assault. Enough lifting story about teamwork and personal perseverance

Thank you to Hodder for sending me a copy of this book.

I adored this. This was powerful, emotional and full of incredible friendship and sportsmanship. I love gymnastics and love watching it at the Olympics so reading this has me so excited for the coming months.

Iacopelli handled the issue of sexual assault delicately but also truthfully. I really appreciated that we also saw different perspectives of how people dealt with it and also how just being close to it can affect you.
