The world of competitive gymnastics -- reaching the pinnacle where a spot on the Olympic team is just in sight. A dream come true, right? Or, maybe, a nightmare.
Megan Abbott creates for us a world of that typical suburban family with a not-at-all typical child. Since she was little Devon Knox has had the singular drive, determination, and focus, to make her a champion. The family has done everything to support her -- re-mortgaging the house, subordinating their own ambitions, and ignoring their other child, to make Dylan's dream come true. When tragedy strikes their gymnastics community, fingers will point, people will whisper, and no one will know who to trust.
I appreciated the tension in this book, and loved author's exploration of several themes (family sacrifice for one member's goals, female gymnast's body issues, etc.) but on the whole I wasn't enthralled. The "suspense" part of the book felt a little bit confusing, and the end was anti-climactic.

Thank you to NetGalley and Little Brown for a galley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
