pick“Were the accomplishments of a genius worthwhile if it meant going a little crazy? What if the insanity is only temporary?” This is such a raw and intense look in those few young athletes who give up everything they have for greatness. Is success measured by accomplishments and Olympic medals or by normalcy and happiness? Sera‘s gymnastic plight and discovery will stay with me for quite some time. Enthralling and best read I‘ve had in a while!
pickThis was the perfect read before the start of the Summer Olympics! If you love gymnastics as much as I do then this is a must read. This was a fictional novel, however it did resemble what closely happened in the real life US gymnastics. It also portrays just how much Elite athletes struggle with on a daily basis just to make it to the Olympics. There is no time to being a kid when you are an elite. Is it worth it?
pickRating 4½⭐ | Narration😁=Very Good
A story that deals with the good, the bad, and the contemptuousness that comes with being an elite athlete in the sport of gymnastics. Highlighting the years and trials that one gymnast faces in her career. From her start in grade school to the Larry Nassar sex scandal to the canceling of the 2020 Olympics because of Covid and beyond. ⬇ ⬇
pickBetter than I expected! A very fast-moving read, which is probably good, given its horrific subject matter. If you were triggered by the Larry Nassar incident, skip this, but if you were fascinated at how it could happen, give this a shot! #contemporaryfiction
