After She Falls | 
pickThis novel was gritty at times and authentic throughout. Some scenes caused me to gasp and worry, while others caused me to cheer on and root for the underdog. I loved so many of the characters! They were well-developed and so well-connected. Extended family became nuclear family and friends became chosen family. Love that! A compelling and satisfying storyline.
pickI don‘t know much of anything about MMA fighting but I LOVED this story about a woman who left an abusive relationship and rekindles her MMA career. Adri is a true underdog and I loved her determination as she trained for a huge fight against the top rated MMA fighter. There are great themes of forgiveness in here but I think the best thing about the story is watching Adri build her self esteem and gain independence for herself and her daughter.
