About this ebook
A high-stakes young adult sports romance following an elite gymnast caught between her head, her heart, and the competition of a lifetime.
“A fraught behind-the-scenes look at the lives of young Olympic hopefuls.”—Publishers Weekly
“Sporty, soapy, and addictive.”—Sarah Henning, author of Throw Like a Girl
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’ve 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?

Best book ever! I love how it incorporates love, sports, and drama into the best book, and now I really want to buy the rest of her books, but I can't. But if you are reading this review, then you should buy them. And this is for Jennifer herself: Can you please write more books like these?
