An interesting book featuring future Olympians and a trans MC, which I loved seeing! We need more trans rep!
From the blurb:
I’ve trained my whole life for this—elite level gymnastics, gold medal dreams, proving I belong in a country passing laws to erase transgender athletes like me. It's not enough to compete. I fight to exist on the podium.
Other than my mom, my best friend Weston and his dad, Wyatt, are my only constants.They’ve been my anchors through everything. But Wyatt isn't just the man who's always been there to catch me when I fall—he's the man I've been in love with for as long as I can remember.
He's finally looking at me like he sees something more than the boy I used to be.
Wyatt sees the man I've become.
Wyatt
I've known Niles since he was a kid—sharp, driven, fearless, impossible not to admire.
But lately, that admiration has taken on a dangerous tone. There's an edge to him that has me noticing him in a way I'd never fathomed before. He's grown into a confident, stunning young man with an audacity that both intrigues and intimidates me.
Now every time he looks at me like he wants something more, I forget all the reasons I should say no. He makes me feel alive like I never have before.
Except, I'm his coach. I'm seventeen years his senior. And he's my son's best friend.
Angel's review:
I've heard so many good things about this book and now that I've finished it myself I completely understand why it has such good reviews.
This is such a wonderful trans romance story full of diverse representation and most importantly, accurate representation as well. This story does discuss certain aspects of what's currently going on in politics this year, which I personally liked. I thought Rebecca wrote about that topic in a good way that was also tasteful. I also really appreciate that while there was angst and hate involved, Rebecca had some lightness and happiness involved too.
As for the romance between our two MC's, I thought it was great. The tension between these two was palpable, and once Wyatt and Niles got on the same page they were unstoppable!
I thought the olympic aspect was really interesting and well written, I don't know much about the Olympics or the rules and regulations but Rebecca wrote about it in a way that felt realistic and believable. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how many spicy scenes there were but that's just my personal preference. All in all a great book!
