This read was exactly what I needed. A cute and interesting romance book that always tackles tougher subjects so it feels more realistic & the romance just happens alongside the other things in the book. As someone who was obsessed with the movie "Stick It" in middle school and has always loved watching women's gymnastics in the Olympics - this book was perfect.
Sometimes when books get too in-depth about a subject it can be boring, but I didn't feel that way when the author described the different technical terms and gymnastics moves. I appreciated her perspective & it was easy to visualize while reading. The author isn't afraid to go into detail about the pros and cons of being a gymnast at the highest stage.
I really enjoyed this one & it was a quick enjoyable read to get lost in.
