Cute friendship story about two girls in the 90s bonding through gymnastics, their hopes, fears, and goals for the future. It never quite makes it into romance territory, but I was fine with that as I enjoy more depictions of close platonic relationships for teens rather than a speedrun romance.
Love the hard of hearing and ASL representation. I'm not really someone who is qualified to judge whether it is faithful or accurate, but it at least has the opportunity to give insight to readers who may not have encountered depictions before.
The plot itself is engaging, but goes very quickly. There were some plot lines that didn't really get the time to develop and some parts feel very thin as a result. I was able to connect to the characters, but found it difficult to the same to the overall story.
