Title: Break the Fall

Author: Jennifer Iacopelli

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2020

Genres: fiction, contemporary, sports, romance

Blurb: 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 paralysed her. And now? She's made the United States' gymnastics team with her best friend Emma, just like they both dreamed about since they were kids. She's on top of the world...but 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 that 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?

I never have high hopes for gymnastics books, and they honestly rarely rise to the low bar I set. But Jennifer Iacopelli's Break the Fall was genuinely good. Work and sleep didn't quite let me read it in one sitting, but I definitely kept reaching for it. She actually knows what she's talking about with gymnastics, the story is good, and the plot is both painfully relevant and offers the hope that awfulness that is the gymnastics world, especially in the US, can do better.

I got it from the library, because it's a gymnastics book and those are stories I hope only to read with an absent-minded fondness, but this is one I think I'll be investing in so I can read it again.

Title: Finding Her Edge

Author: Jennifer Iacopelli

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2022

Genres: fiction, romance, sports, contemporary, retelling

Blurb: Adriana Russo is figure-skating royalty. With gold-medalist parents and her older sister headed to the Olympics, all she wants is to live up to the family name and stand atop the ice dance podium at the Junior World Championships...but fame doesn’t always mean fortune, and their legendary skating rink is struggling under the weight of her dad’s lavish lifestyle. The only thing keeping it afloat is a deal to host the rest of the Junior Worlds team before they leave for France. That means training on the same ice as her first crush, Freddie, the partner she left when her growth spurt outpaced his. For the past two years, he’s barely acknowledged her existence, and she can’t even blame him for it. When the family’s finances take another unexpected hit, losing the rink seems inevitable...until her partner, Brayden, suggests they let the world believe what many have suspected: that their intense chemistry isn’t contained to the ice. Fans and sponsors alike take the bait, but keeping up the charade is harder than she ever imagined, and training alongside Freddie makes it worse...especially when pretending with Brayden starts to feel very real. As the biggest competition of her life draws closer and her family’s legacy hangs in the balance, Adriana is caught between her past and present, between the golden future she’s worked so hard for and the one she gave up long ago.

What I Read In December 2019

What I #read in December 2019...and it was much better than I thought!

December was a funny old month, I thought I hadn’t read anything and then all of a sudden I browse my Goodreads and realise I’ve actually done pretty well in a super busy month.

So here’s what I read in December!

The Perfect Dress – Louisa Leaman

This was a sweet but intriguing read. I haven’t read a book about weddings for a long time but as I’m starting to try and find my own it…
