I knew I was going to be pretty biased about this book because I’m obsessed with the USWNT, so I won’t say that I was surprised to find how much I loved it or surprised at how quickly I devoured it. But, I will say that all that aside, I still found it to be such an inspiring, informative, funny(!), and worthwhile read. I loved Pinoe’s storytelling and honesty while detailing her life growing up in northern CA, her start in soccer as a kid, and through her career as a professional athlete and player on the national team. In typical Pinoe fashion, she didn’t hold back on sharing her strong opinions about everything from race to politics, lgbtq advocacy to gender and pay inequality, which really kept the reaading experience an engaging one. Next up, I’ll have to hear the audiobook version!
