Caroline, a 15yo, gymnast has to stop competing due to an injury. Her brother’s friend Alex tries to help her find something else that’s active but not harmful to her back and is enjoyable for her, so they try several different sports to see what Caroline likes. Alex has a crush on Caroline’s friend Sunny so she’s trying to set the two up without being obvious. Everything is going fine until she realizes she’s developed a crush on Alex.

Henning writes a super cute story that builds on friendship and appreciation and turning into more. A very cute, young adult romance! I love the two main characters, Caroline and Alex. They both have set goals in their everyday lives, working towards their futures and they both have integrity and compassion. The character development grew throughout the book and made me like these characters even more. This is a very cute, clean young adult romance. The characters and predominantly white, with a few other minor roles for other races.
