"This book makes you understand exactly what it is like to compete as a woman at the highest level in sport, and it is exhilarating and satisfying indeed." --Holly Sorensen, Television Creator/Showrunner, Make it or Break It, Step Up: High Water Audrey Lee is going to the Olympics. A year ago, she could barely do a push up as she recovered from a spine surgery, one that could have paralyzed her. And now? She's made the United States' gymnastics team with her best friend, Emma, just like they both dreamed about since they were kids. She's on top of the world. The pressure for perfection is higher than ever when horrifying news rips the team apart. Audrey is desperate to advocate for her teammate who has been hurt by the one person they trusted most--but not all the gymnasts are as supportive. With the team on the verge of collapse, the one bright spot in training is Leo, her new coach's ridiculously cute son. And while Audrey probably (okay, definitely) shouldn't date him until after the games, would it really be the end of the world? Balancing the tenuous relationship between her teammates with unparalleled expectations, Audrey doesn't need any more distractions. No matter what it takes, she's not going to let anyone bring them down. But with painful revelations, incredible odds, and the very real possibility of falling at every turn, will Audrey's determination be enough?

I‘m here for every gymnastics book especially now that I didn‘t get my Olympic fix last year. No worries, Audrey Lee & the rest of the US National Team went to Tokyo anyway. 🥇I‘d be lying if I didn‘t admit to crying through the last 50-70 pages which portrayed the event finals and a hell of a redemption... without spoilers I‘ll just say that these girls made a great team. I hope our next IRL team sticks as many landings while mending many hearts.

As a huge Yankees fan, this spoke to me. This book was both fluffy and heavy in ways I was not expecting but done very well.

Riveting ya about teen girls going to the Olympics and gymnastics. So well written. I was all in on the competition but also the interpersonal relationships.
