Ooh what a fun read! Avery had a chance for the Olympics. But then an accident took her out. She's trying to find her place in this world after only focusing on gymnastics for years of her life. But maybe there's a way to still be involved. Enter Ryan Nicholson. He knows Avery and her life during gymnastics. He needs her help. He offers her something no one else has, which is a way to reconnect and recharge and help another Olympic hopeful. Avery didn't expect Ryan, or what he offered, but she also didn't shy away. I really enjoyed getting lost in this read. I liked the world of gymnastics (the way Hannah writes, the reader can picture things so well!) and the budding romance between Avery and Ryan. This story was realistic and I didn't want to leave their world! Life may not turn out how she expected, but Avery learned how to enjoy the moments that are given.

From the author of the Love at First Like and Playing with Matches, an electrifying rom-com set in the high stakes world of competitive gymnastics, full of Hannah Orenstein’s signature “charm, whimsy, and giddy romantic tension” (BuzzFeed).
The past seven years have been hard on Avery Abrams: After training her entire life to make the Olympic gymnastics team, a disastrous performance ended her athletic career for good. Her best friend and teammate, Jasmine, went on to become an Olympic champion, then committed the ultimate betrayal by marrying their emotionally abusive coach, Dimitri.
Now, reeling from a breakup with her football star boyfriend, Avery returns to her Massachusetts hometown, where new coach Ryan asks her to help him train a promising young gymnast with Olympic aspirations. Despite her misgivings and worries about the memories it will evoke, Avery agrees. Back in the gym, she’s surprised to find sparks flying with Ryan. But when a shocking scandal in the gymnastics world breaks, it has shattering effects not only for the sport but also for Avery and her old friend Jasmine.
Perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jasmine Guillory, Head Over Heels proves that no one “writes about modern relationships with more humor or insight than Hannah Orenstein” (Dana Schwartz, author of Choose Your Own Disaster).
