Review:

This was better than expected, I did not love it, but I didn’t hate it either. It was interesting to see a different experience than I have ever had. I did gymnastics when I was a kid, but it was nothing like the pressure. I liked the way she dealt with mental illness and abuse. There were many instances that I liked a lot with the love interest. I did not like the romance part of it as much as the gymnastics and challenging issues. I like that for most books that have different experiences from my own. It feels like I am someone else for a little while. Overall this was a very interesting book with fantastic experiences.

Trigger Warnings:
Sexual and Emotional abuse

Synopsis From Book:

The past seven years have been hard on Avery Abrams: After training her entire life to make the Olympic gymnastics team, a disastrous performance ended her athletic career for good. Her best friend and teammate, Jasmine, went on to become an Olympic champion, then committed the ultimate betrayal by marrying their emotionally abusive coach, Dimitri. Now, reeling from a breakup with her football star boyfriend, Avery returns to her Massachusetts hometown, where new coach Ryan asks her to help him train a promising young gymnast with Olympic aspirations. Despite her misgivings and worries about the memories it will evoke, Avery agrees. Back in the gym, she’s surprised to find sparks flying with Ryan. But when a shocking scandal in the gymnastics world breaks, it has shattering effects not only for the sport but also for Avery and her old friend Jasmine.
