To say that this book was amazing and truly inspirational is an understatement. This book is for all ages: kids, teens, adults.I want to read it again and again and I will continue to take a look at it whenever I need some sort of inspiration in my life. This young woman is younger than me yet she inspires me so much. I laughed, cried and cheered reading this book. I have so, so much admiration for Simone. God willing, she will continue to break barriers and continue to be greater.I am a fan of gymnastics but I haven't always followed it outside of the Olympics because no offense but the girls personalities are a bit too cold (for my liking). I understand this is required of their sport and this is no criticism of these young women who devote so much time and sacrifice so much for the sport but the main reason I am bringing this up is because Simone made me fall in love with gymnastics all over again. She by far has the best personality I have ever seen from someone of her caliber , notoriety and talent; I say this as someone who follows various sports a lot. She is VERY bubbly, energetic, fun, giggly, selfless and most importantly extremely humble.I know a lot of people who don't even have a 10th of her talent who are very big headed but Simone is just a normal young woman who just happens to be extremely, extremely gifted.I named my review " straight from the heart " because I was pleasantly surprised at how candid she was in this book; she was very honest. I really didn't expect that but I appreciated it. I love the fact that she is still extremely close with all her close friends with who she grew up with . There is so much more I can say about this book but I dont like to reveal spoilers in my reviews . I really encourage people to read this book and dare to be inspired by this phenomenal young woman . I knew who she was before the Olympics and reading this book made me even more of a fan of hers. I cant wait to see what the future holds for her.
