Why We Fly by Kimberly Jones, Gilly Segal
1.0
This book is unrealistic, and not well written for so many teens, and in so many ways. Here’s why, in my opinion.
1) Although this book is about student athletes, it is mentioned on around page 60 that Three’s dad is maxing out credit cards and taking out huge loans to pay SOLEY for his future in football. I know a few football players, and their parents do not do such things. Also, it’s mentioned that he runs 6 miles as a warm up each day, and drinks 3 protein shakes. That’s honestly disgusting.
2) I can’t tell which person is Chanel, and which one Eleanor is. I haven’t been able to tell which one had the concussion, and which one has not. It’s honestly disappointing to have to not finish this book because of the fact that it wasn’t written well enough for me to understand that.
3) Forgive me if I’m wrong, but there’s also no description of where this book takes place, other than the U.S., if that’s even provided. I may just be guessing about that, because the way that they act, the measurements that they used, like pounds and miles, and the fact that they are all die hards for football.
So, I rest my case. I had to DNF this book, and it’s a 1/5 stars for me.
