Summary
In the tradition of My Dark Vanessa and The Divines, a bold coming-of-age novel set in the competitive, high stakes and controversial world of elite gymnastics
Martina wants to be the best gymnast in the world. But so does everyone around her.
During one week of intense competition, Martina and her teammates are tested to the limit, and any sign of weakness can quickly spell the end. And an intense obsession will lead to murder.
Every girl will do anything to win… but at what cost?
