Description
A high stakes elite sports drama following a talented gymnast caught between her head, her heart and the competition of a lifetime. For fans of Spiral and Lynn Painter, and by the sensational author of Finding Her Edge - coming soon on Netflix!
Just a year ago, seventeen-year-old Audrey Lee was recovering from spine surgery; now she's made the national U.S. gymnastics squad. But as she heads off to the most important tournament of her life, horrifying news rips through the team, threatening to tear them apart. Audrey is intent on advocating for her teammate who has been hurt by the person they trusted most - but not all the gymnasts are on her side.
The only bright spot is the sweet and charming Leo Adams, the one person she can't get close to until after the games. But when team dynamics and expectations throw Audrey deeper into his orbit, the magnetic pull between them is impossible to ignore. With the highest stakes at every turn, will Audrey's determination send her tumbling towards her podium dreams or into Leo's arms?
