First I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Harlequin Teen, Inkyard Press, Anna Jarzab, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC and this blog tour opportunity.
Anna Jarzab is a new YA author to me that I was introduced to via this request and I couldn't be happier to share my thoughts.
Our main character was a young Mexican female teen named Susannah who was going through growth spurts and changing into a woman's body.
As such, her talent in swimming also changed and soon DNF's became apparent with a coach who was happy to put her down and not offer support.
Olympic champions never quit and neither does a strong feminine character who knows her worth and holds her value above and beyond what the haters may say.
She built a platform on the negatives and changed them into a staircase to bigger positives with a new female coach that pushed her to be her best in every aspect.
It didn't hurt to also have a romantic flare with Henry but sadly he had some underlying issues and couldn't be her everything as she may have hoped.
This novel touches on several sensitive topics while making readers feel every emotion through every vein.
It didn't take long after leaving it all on the line to walk back into it with her head held high determined to take off from the word, "GO."
Just an absolute remarkable read that I truly enjoyed as a thriller reader.
Thank you to Anna, the pub, NetGalley, and Kindle for this blessing.
