This is the kind of book that you can pick up randomly and read in a night or two. While I'd qualify it as a guilty pleasure, in a way, it was enjoyable learning more about how a gymnast competing at that level struggles to balance school and life as an athlete.
Go Into This One Knowing: It's kind of silly and it's hard to relate to an elite, world-class gymnast on some levels
