This book is the story of Simone's life and gymnastics career through the Rio Olympics, and it was a wonderful insight into her life up through that point.
What a fun read ahead of watching her comeback at the Paris Olympics. I think it has made me enjoy watching her dominate even more!
I was sad that this book is so backlist it didn't also encompass Toyko and her marriage and all that her life has entailed since Rio. That is not a fault of the book, just my timing in reading it.
I was a little disappointed that Simone did not narrate this herself. I eventually fell into just imagining her voice over Imani's, but memoirs should really be read by the writer in my opinion.
