Execution (Off Balance, #2)

by

Balance was so tumultuous, everything was push and pull. Everything that Kova and Adrianna shared was raw and harsh and dirty. In Execution things progress, the edges are still rough but there’s more there than skin deep now. There’s unsurety but there’s burgeoning trust and a growing affection.
Hayden is so great so why? Because the draw is real! Kova is so toxic and manipulative. So why?!?! -FYI love triangle writers, this is how it’s done. Make the footing as equal as possible so the reader understands why it’s hard to choose. Because I hate that there’s a choice but I don’t think I could choose.
It’s men like Kova who destroy women.
The meet was a turning point. It gave the reader a chance to see everything good about Kova. I like the affection they share that doesn’t surpass a kiss on the cheek.
I can imagine jumping rope on a balance beam is somewhat common for a gymnast. But for me it makes Kova sound like Mr Miyagi. Which coincides with Avery naming the beam Johnny, at the time, I of course pictured Johnny Lawrence. I say we name the vault Daniel LaRusso.
Holy shit, I just realized the book covers gave away a pretty big plot twist. 🤦🏼♀�
Last time I didn’t get emotionally invested in these characters, but now I’m lost. I can’t believe I’m shedding tears for Kova.
This is the beautiful book. This is the book where you see the relationship the best coaches and gymnasts share. The loyalty, the affection and the trust. I have no idea how many of those relationships have crossed that line but in this case and at this point in time it works beautifully.
Another cliffhanger ... this time I understand why.
