From the author of Maine Characters, an electrifying rom-com set in the high stakes world of competitive gymnastics and filled with "charm, whimsy, and giddy romantic tension" (BuzzFeed)-for fans of Sarah Adams and Hannah Grace.
The past seven years have been hard on Avery Abrams: after training her entire life to make the Olympic gymnastics team, a disastrous performance ended her athletic career for good. Her best friend and teammate, Jasmine, went on to become an Olympic champion, then committed the ultimate betrayal by marrying their controversial coach, Dimitri.
Now, reeling from a breakup with her football star boyfriend, Avery returns to her Massachusetts hometown, where new coach Ryan asks her to help him train a promising young gymnast with Olympic aspirations. Despite her misgivings and worries about the memories it will evoke, Avery agrees. Back in the gym, she's surprised to find sparks flying with Ryan. But when a shocking scandal in the gymnastics world breaks, it has shattering effects not only for the sport but also for Avery and her old friend Jasmine. Hannah Orenstein is the author of Playing with Matches, Love at First Like, Head Over Heels, Meant to Be Mine, Maine Characters, and is the deputy editor of dating at Elite Daily.
