If you take one thing away from “Bobek: The Wild One“, it‘s that people are complex, and people change. No one should be defined by the worst day of their lives, especially if it was over a decade ago. As Nicole‘s story reminds us, skating teaches you one thing above all: when you fall, you get back up.

This book was clearly cathartic for her - and it's a wonderful memoir for any reader who believes in the power of second chances.

Read this one sitting & it was an absolute gold mine of information... which honestly was no surprise to me having followed Book Launchers for some time on YouTube. Marketing for nonfiction authors is a completely different beast altogether than fiction. Julie does a wonderful job in this book covering just about everything there is to consider for nonfiction authors trying to set their books up for success.
