Karen and Jordan both had an enormous amount of uncertainty and grief to deal with as both had lost loved ones. Although I have never had anything to do with the world of high level competitive sports, I thought the author was able to give the reader a good picture and a realistic look at the life. I was very happy that she explained some of the more technical terms as I would have been lost otherwise. I also liked the fact that the author held true to Karen's lack of experience in the social arena. Karen hadn't had the chance to have regular friends who did regular activities so it would have been really weird to me if her relationship with Jordan would have progressed really fast. I was very happy with the connection that Karen and Jordan found and that Coach/dad understood it as well. These two made each other better people because they helped one another find answers, heal, and provided each other with the support that they each lost. I was sad to see the book end, although I was happy with Karen's choices.*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
