Once I started, I couldn't put this book down! Addictive read. I enjoyed following Emily's story. She has a lot of heart, and I felt the author did a good job depicting realistic relationships with her friends and family. Her relationship with her father in particular is one that I could relate really well to; it's hard knowing that someone in your life loves you while they're simultaneously pushing you so that you'll do better in your life. I also found the storyline fascinating because it really gave me a glimpse into how an athlete would train and live. All in all, this is a really great book!
