Why read it?

1 author picked Every Reason We Shouldn't as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Olivia is the daughter of famous Olympians trying to figure out a normal teen life after her own skating falters. Her world collides with Jonah’s when he begins speed skating at her family’s struggling rink. A roller derby friend brings extra fun to this novel.
