Really great autobiography by/with Simone Biles. Comes across as a really delightful and dedicated human being, with a spectacular family behind her. Her story is interesting and inspiring. (

Funny and sweet this was a quick, fun read. Simone's personality really came through, and it was interesting to read about her training and all the amazing effort and sacrifice that contributed to her skills. (

This is a book about Simone Biles. When she was a child her and her siblings (Ashley, Tevin, and Adria) had to go and live with her grandparents because her mom was a drug addict. Eventually her grandparents have custody of her and she calls them Mom and Dad. When she is 6 she goes to gymnastics for the first time. She continues it and becomes an elite gymnast at 18. She goes to her first World Championship at age 15. She continues to be one of the best gymnast for the next 2 1/2 years leading up to the 2016 Olympics. At the olympics she wins 4 gold medals (Team all-around, individual all-around, floor, and vault.) and 1 bronze medal (balance beam). She continues to do incredibly at the World Championships and at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart she becomes the most decorated gymnast of all time.

I thought this book was pretty well done. It seemed pretty genuine which can be a problem in some biographies. She did a good job explaining different things about gymnastics. She also told stories about when she was younger. The book explained different workouts that she had to do and the things she had to give up to become an elite gymnast . (
