At first glance this book wasn’t eye catching to me. I wasn’t really feeling the basic cover and there was nothing that stood out to me as a reader.

As I said the cover was just ok for me and the title wasn’t really unique but as I have said a million times before, I always read every pitch that comes across my desk because you just can’t judge a book by it’s cover, even though I think most of us are guilty of doing just that.

If I had gone just on first impression alone, I would have missed a really great rom-com! I loved the premise of this book and was thrilled with it cover to cover!

Summary
From the author of the Love at First Like and Playing with Matches, an electrifying rom-com set in the high stakes world of competitive gymnastics, full of Hannah Orenstein’s signature “charm, whimsy, and giddy romantic tension” (BuzzFeed).

The past seven years have been hard on Avery Abrams: After training her entire life to make the Olympic gymnastics team, a disastrous performance ended her athletic career for good. Her best friend and teammate, Jasmine, went on to become an Olympic champion, then committed the ultimate betrayal by marrying their emotionally abusive coach, Dimitri.

Now, reeling from a breakup with her football star boyfriend, Avery returns to her Massachusetts hometown, where new coach Ryan asks her to help him train a promising young gymnast with Olympic aspirations. Despite her misgivings and worries about the memories it will evoke, Avery agrees. Back in the gym, she’s surprised to find sparks flying with Ryan. But when a shocking scandal in the gymnastics world breaks, it has shattering effects not only for the sport but also for Avery and her old friend Jasmine.

Perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jasmine Guillory, Head Over Heels proves that no one “writes about modern relationships with more humor or insight than Hannah Orenstein” (Dana Schwartz, author of Choose Your Own Disaster). (summary from Goodreads)

Review
The first thing that stuck out in the summary was the women’s sports component. I love watching ladies gymnastics and I thought the premise of this book sounded so promising and would really highlight women’s sports. Growing up as a kid, I loved gymnastic—-I mean I wasn’t any good but I loved watching the women in the Olympics doing something really cool and different from the traditional ‘women’s sports’ like cheerleading or dance. So right away I was intrigued by this being so predominantly featured in this book!

This was my first book by this author so I wasn’t really sure what to expect, I know that some people who liked her other books didn’t care for this one, but as this is my first experience with her books, I had no big expectations to cloud my judgement. I personally thought this was an excellent book with a strong voice with confidence in the writing.

I absolutely loved the characters and thought they had a lot of chemistry and I felt invested in their romance. But this isn’t just your run of the mill rom-com. This book had a serious component to it and I loved how the author shined a spotlight on some of the darker sides of elite competitions. I think it’s safe to say that elite Olympic level athletes have a lot of very real pressures that the public doesn’t always see. This book really highlighted sexual assaults, eating disorders, and the pressure to perform at that level. It was eye opening as well as captivating to read about. I had a hard time putting this one down for that reason alone.

While I loved the romance parts of this book, I was so captivated by the sports pieces that I was compelled to read well after my bed time. I think it’s important to note though that while some of the content is heavy, this book still feels uplifting and positive so if you are worried that it might be a little too heavy, I found it to be very balanced and a delight to read!

Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Avery Abrams devoted her entire adolescence to gymnastics in pursuit of a spot on the Olympic team. She endured grueling workouts, a verbally abusive coach, and a serious lack of a social life... all to have everything come crashing down when Avery gets an injury that ends her gymnastics career for good. As a woman in her mid-twenties, Avery still hasn’t gotten over her Olympic heartbreak years ago. After getting broken up with by her NFL boyfriend and moving back home to Massachusetts, Avery is floundering. When she gets a call to help coach a promising young gymnast, Avery is wary. She agrees to coach the Olympic hopeful alongside Ryan, a former Olympic gymnast whom Avery had a massive crush on growing up. Head Over Heels is Avery’s comeback story as she throws herself back into the gymnastics world, and maybe even finds love along the way.

At first glance, Head Over Heels sounds like a light romance read. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that this novel is much more contemporary fiction than romance. Sure, there is a romantic storyline but what really drew me in was Avery’s story. Avery got her confidence back through helping a young gymnast overcome the hurdles that derailed Avery, both physically and mentally. She is such a likable character, and I really related to her and rooted for her! There are a lot of topical plot points in Head Over Heels, including a Larry Nassar-esc doctor takedown, Olympic politics, and mental health issues. All of these storylines made this novel so multifaceted and much deeper than the back cover synopsis. Gymnastics fans will appreciate the detailed descriptions of moves and routines, and I feel like I really learned a lot about the sport by reading this! It’s a shame that the Olympics were postponed this year as this story would have paired so well with watching Olympic gymnastics on TV. Thank you @atriabooks and @netgalley for my advanced reader’s copy. Head Over Heels is out now!

3.5⭐

My Thoughts
While I quite enjoyed this story, I have some conflicted feelings on how to rate it. What it comes down to is: I think this was poorly marketed/categorized.

This was pitched as a rom-com but in reality this didn't have much in the way of romance or comedy. It was however a really topical and important contemporary. This touched on so many things - abuse, sexual assault, trauma, depression, and the lasting physical & mental effects of being in such a demanding sport. While I loved the discussions this book had, I was left mildly disappointed since I went into this expecting a romance.

In general, this book was so much heavier than I had anticipated. The story kicks off with a glum opening as Avery moves home after a 4 year relationship fell apart. She is dealing with physical pains left over from her gymnastics career as well has deep mental scars. She deals depressive thoughts, body dysmorphia, and general lack of direction. I connected to her character immediately and truly felt what she was going through.

I loved watching Avery's character arc as she developed throughout the book. While this book covers a lot of heavy topics, it also beautifully depicted Avery's (and Jasmine's) healing. This had amazing friendships, support systems, and mental health messages. In my eyes, this book was more about Avery's personal journey than anything else. And in that way, this book really excelled.

However, as a romance, this left me wanting. In fact, I think the romantic aspects were the weakest part of this story. Avery was well developed and I felt connected to her throughout the entire story. But in contrast, Ryan felt extremely underdeveloped. In fact I struggled to write his character description because I didn't feel like I ever really knew him. (view spoiler)

I loved how this book balanced heavy topics with a feeling of hope. I loved the friendships, the female empowerment, and messages about healthy self care. But sadly this just didn't work for me as a romance. I thought the relationship/romantic aspects were underdeveloped and lackluster. So while I recommend this story, definitely don't go into expecting a rom-com.

I enjoyed this book. It was more a story of Avery’s arc than her romance. The romance never clicked for me. I found myself wishing it was a story more about each of the characters without the attempted romance.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria for a complimentary copy. I voluntarily reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Head Over Heels
By: Hannah Orenstein

REVIEW ☆☆☆☆
Love At First Like is a favorite of mine, so I had to read Hannah Orenstein's latest book, Head Over Heels. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. I don't know much about gymnastics, but this behind the scenes type of story was fascinating. Avery is a former gymnast who lost her career to an injury. Now, having lost her boyfriend, she is returning home to live with her parents. A cutie from the past, Erin, comes calling asking Avery to help him out with training a gymnastics student. Although there is a romance between Avery and Erin, I would not classify this story as a romcom because it's a small part of the whole story. Maybe more like chicklit? The story actually touches on much more serious issues than I would have thought. Despite being different from what I imagined, I did enjoy Head Over Heels. It's a fun charming read with heart and hope!

Head Over Heels was an absolutely adorable romance. I’m not super knowledgeable about gymnastics but Hannah Orenstein made everything very relatable and easy to understand.

My favorite part of the book was the female friendships. I loved how Avery recognized that she needed to let people in and started with her roommate and then Jasmine. I also loved how Avery became such a mentor to Hallie, their relationship was so supportive and adorable. And the inclusion of #metoo and the dive into how easily the gymnast/coach relationship can turn abusive was amazing.

However, I wasn’t a huge fan of the romance in the second half of the book. I did like the romance between Avery and Ryan in general but some of Ryan’s choices (and his unwillingness to listen to Avery) didn’t sit right with me. Because of that and some events that happened, it felt like the conclusion was a bit rushed.

Overall, Head Over Heels was a fun, engaging read. Just be prepared to want to watch all of the gymnastic events at the next Olympics! I’ve had Love at First Like on my TBR for ages and, after reading this one, I can’t wait to read more of Hannah Orenstein’s books! She’s definitely an author I’m going to keep an eye out for in the future.

*Disclaimer: I received an advance digital copy of this book for free from the publisher. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Former gymnast Avery Abrams returns from L.A. to her small Massachusetts hometown after a failed relationship with a rising football star and a disastrous attempt at adulthood on her own. Her former life as an elite gymnast centered around discipline and her dream of competing in the 2012 Olympic Games. But after a terrible injury at the Olympic trials ends her career, Avery struggles to find purpose and a new focus for her life. A surprise phone call and job offer from Ryan, a former Olympic gymnast and past "crush", gives Avery just what she's been looking for: a chance to get back into the sport she's always been good at. This time, though, it'll be as a coach to a young girl who reminds Avery so much of herself. As Avery navigates the role of coach along with growing feelings for Ryan, she finds herself back in the gymnastics social circle with her best friend, Jasmine, and their emotionally and psychologically abusive former coach, Dimitri. Current events from the gymnastics "world" and a new-adult story featuring a woman who found her strength despite tough circumstances all come together to create this page-turner for gymnastic and romance fans alike. Note: Not for young adults -- some sexually explicit scenes.

Thoughts: I have been a huge gymnastics fan since I was a mere toddler watching Mary Lou Retton bring home Olympic gold, so I was really excited to read Hannah Orenstein's Head Over Heels: it's not often fans come across a romantic gymnastics fiction story! Avery is a character readers will find easy to find empathy for, and it's inspiring to experience her evolution from a lost former gymnast to a successful and passionate coach. Her relationship with Ryan is sweet, and for the most part Ryan is an incredibly supportive coworker and adorable boyfriend. As a gymnastics fan, I appreciated that Orenstein included the emotionally and psychologically abusive side of the sport that has been overlooked or excused away for so long. I do, however, think it might have been too much to include both this and the sexual abuse scandal many readers will recognize from recent headlines. The plot eluded to this abuse several times with details very similar to actual reports, but without delving too much into it or making it more of a major plot point it sometimes felt flat. Overall, though, I thought it was a unique story with interesting characters and plot points that gymnastic fans and readers will find a quick yet relevant read.

If you love gymnastics and the Olympics, you're in for a treat with HEAD OVER HEELS. If you don't really care about gymnastics (aka me), you might be a little underwhelmed.

If I'm being honest, this ended up being more of a skim read than a fully-absorb-every-sentence read. Ultimately, had I know it was going to be so heavily focused on gymnastics (long descriptions of training days, floor routines, etc.), I probably wouldn't have picked this one up.

It did shy away from the light romance vibe to talk about gymnasts' mental health and sexual assault allegations against a longtime gymnastics doctor (obviously reminiscent of Larry Nassar.) While I think the mental health aspect was a great addition to the story, the sexual assault aspect didn't necessarily fit in. It felt a little bit like a secondary idea the author added after the first draft was written. I'm not mad it was there, but I didn't love the execution of that particular plot point.

Finally - and this is by no means the fault of the author who didn't have a crystal ball while writing - reading a book that takes place in a normal/non Covid 2020 felt odd. I don't know what, if anything, she could've done to change this, but I do think it's going to be interesting to see how authors will incorporate the pandemic into present day stories moving forward.

Ultimately - if you like gymnastics, please don't let me not-so-positive review stop you from picking this one up. But if you're on the fence, it was a "just okay" from me.

2.5 stars. Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest review.

This book was outstanding but—COME ON. A book about child abuse, especially child sexual abuse, does not belong under the heading of a romcom. Child abuse isn’t funny. The author didn’t even try to make it funny (thankfully). 5 stars for the book, 0 and a big shame on you to the marketing team. I read romcom because child abuse is on my“hard no” list.

I enjoyed reading about competitive gymnastics and the Olympics gymnastics world. I also thought this book addressed a lot of really important topics such as sexual and emotional abuse in the women's athletic community as well as the #metoo movement, depression, eating disorders and the overall competiveness and pressures of meeting both professional and outward expectations women face within the athletics world.

What made this a 3/5 for me was that as someone who knows nothing about the gymnastics world, I felt disconnected to the practice and routine scenes and I wish the author painted more of an image for me so I could have better visualized. I really enjoyed getting to know the actual terms, but there was a lack of visual support. I also never really connected with either Avery nor Ryan. I generally felt meh about the both of them.

I think a lot of themes and topics were going on in this book, but none of them were really explored nor expanded on. It just didn't feel fully fleshed out.

*4.5

Avery Abrams' dream of being an Olympic gymnast came crashing down at the 2012 Olympic Trials with a career ending injury. What do you do when you've trained for something your whole life and it's taken away from you in an instant?

Fast forward 8 years and Avery is moving back to her hometown of Greenwood, Massachusetts from LA where she has just broken up with her rising football star boyfriend. The last thing she wants to do is jump back into the world of gymnastics but when she gets a call from Ryan (yeah, that Ryan..the cute gymnast from her past) asking her to come be the assistant coach for a girl her is training for the upcoming Olympic trials, what else can she say but okay? Avery knows she can help her and maybe this is the answer to a stable future for herself.

If you are looking for a RomCom, you are not going to find that here. But, y'all I LOVED this story! We get a glimpse into the world of gymnastics and that was so fascinating to read. We also get to see Avery's growth and what she went through and how she copes with the aftermath of her injury. Of course, Ryan and Avery catch feelings for each other and I feel like they handled the relationship and what is thrown at them very maturely. Yeah, Ryan messes up a little bit but when he realizes his mistakes, he does what it takes to show Avery how sorry he is.

I really enjoyed seeing Avery grown in this story. She overcomes what she went through with her emotional/verbally abusive coach and turns it into good by the end of the book. I also really like the relationship she had with Hallie (gymnast in training).

*TW for verbally and emotionally abusive coach and the topic of sexual assault.
*Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
*All opinions are my own.

Head Over Heels was such a great book! I read it at the perfect time, as if this book chose me. I was buried in nonfiction, and really loved this story of Avery.

I was so fascinated by the gymnast storyline and love interest.

Many thanks to netgalley and the publisher for this gifted digital copy.

The perfect book to scratch the olympics itch that we have to wait another year for! Great characters and story!

I’m having a bit of trouble rating this book because of how it’s being marketed as a romance novel. It’s main focus is Avery’s growth and coming to terms that there’s more in life than just being a former gymnastics star. Though her relationship with Ryan is part of that journey, you could take it out and her growth wouldn’t be that different. I wish it was categorized as contemporary fiction, as those with a stigma against romance won’t pick up this story.

Despite the romance falling flat and somewhat simplistic writing, I found Avery’s growth to be both relatable and believable. I loved her relationship with Hallie and reconciliation with Jasmine. This took on a couple of big topics in the gymnastics world: sexual assault and emotional abuse. While the author did so with care, I feel like she could have gone deeper to truly show the impact is has on the young victims.

Overall, I really liked the story, but might have rated it a bit higher if the romance was either more prominent or removed completely.

I received this advanced copy from NetGalley for reviewing purposes. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Head Over Heels was my first book by the author and I was quite impressed with her writing style. Avery has hit rock bottom. Her professional quarterback boyfriend just broke up with her after 4 years together. She was a pro gymnast for most of her life, until a career ending injury took her out of the sport forever. She’s moving back in with her parents, in her hometown. When Ryan (a previous friend from gymnastics) reaches out to help him coach an Olympic hopeful, she reluctantly agrees. A shocking scandal ripped straight from recent headlines plays out through the story.

There was supposed to be a romance between Ryan and Avery, but it was such a tiny part of the story. For that reason, I would classify this more towards women’s fiction. I was a gymnast for about 8 years over 20 years ago, so I did remember most of the gymnastic terms used throughout the book. However, if you were not a gymnast, I think this might get too technical for you, or you might have to look up the moves to get the full picture. I really struggled with the main characters. Avery was so hard to like. She was so bitter and judgmental. But, she did grow on me by the end. On the other hand, I liked Ryan at first, but then he did some things I hated later. I never really fully got on board with their relationship. The secondary characters were excellent. I loved Sarah and Hallie. This story really made me miss the Olympics this year. Overall, this was a solid three star read for me. I would recommend this for gymnastics fans.

Avery Adams was on her way to the Olympics as a gymnast when she suffered a horrible injury. Coming out of the depression of the injury, your carrier being over, and all of the years you have put into the sport up to that point it has taken a toll mentally, physically, and just overtook your whole life. Once she comes out of it, she has no college, she and her boyfriend have broken up and now she is back at her parents’ home where it all began. Now she gets a call from a former male gymnast Ryan who did make it to the Olympics and is now coaching at the same gym where she used to practice. He would like her to help with a young girl with her floor routine.
When she finally gets the job, she goes into it with her student wanting to change the routine, for she feels her program has gotten too routine and she needs to kick it up a notch. Also, Avery is working at moving out of her parents’ home which she does and after many times of her new roommate asking her to go to yoga she finally gives in and goes.
This story shows growth in Avery’s character especially after an injury for most people don’t know what it is like coming back after knee operations and other injuries. After two knee surgeries plus an ankle surgery I can attest to it is difficult. I liked that they talked about what these young athletes go through, gymnasts start at a young age and can be over while we're still in your teens as well. I started swimming competitively when I was five and by my teens, I was practicing in the morning before school and in the afternoon after school, a lot of people don’t know what it takes and that was decades ago now, I am sure it is just as tough. The author also brings in the doctor scandal that effected the sport as well which added to the story.
When Avery feels like Ryan is not listening to her about her former coach and how he coaches which is abusive she has known problem walking away from Ryan and it will be up to him to make his own choice on what to do. Overall, I really liked the book even though I felt it started out slow it really picked up once it got going.

A beautifully written story about the hardships, successes and failures in the sport of American gymnastics, this book was a treat to read. I loved to see Avery's journey and how she grows as an individual and an athlete in the book. Her strength, fears and at the end fierce bravery come through the chapters of the book. I like that the author touched upon one of the biggest scandal in the history of American gymnastics in this book. It shows how problematic the culture is and how toxic it can get for these young teenagers. I would say that this is less of a romance and more of a fiction book because it doesn't focus so much on Ryan and Avery's relationship as much as it focuses on her independently. I still enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.

* I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review*

I loved this one! It tackled real issues with empathy and the seriousness they deserve, while still being a fun and light read.

Avery's arc is fantastic, and her confusion over what her life has become versus what it should have been is so well written and well done. I loved her relationship with Ryan as well.

Until recently, I would not have ever classified myself as someone who enjoys the "romance genre". Maybe I am jaded, but I struggle to relate to fluffy and far fetched love stories when my feet are firmly planted in the whole married with kid's stage of life, LOL. While there are many wonderful parts of this phase of life, long term relationships require daily work and effort from all parties involved. 

This past winter something exciting happened to me though. While I try not to overgeneralize with books, I realized I was doing just that with "romance novels". I was introduced to Abby Jimenez and flew through her contemporary romance books The Friend Zone and The Happy Ever After Playlist and realized there was a whole part of this genre I was missing!
I realized there are books that are a mix of being light and heartwarming books while also balancing them out with deeper issues of trauma, loss, and mental health. What I had been missing previously was what I found in this style of writing. Life is messy and imperfect and sometimes really hard, and there ARE authors that incorporate that into lighter and engrossing writing. 

Okay, so that tangent can be summarized into saying that I was on a mission to find more books like Jimenez' style of writing, and when Atria Books invited me to joined their blog tour for Head Over Heels June release, I decided I should definitely go for it. I had never read a book by Hannah Orenstein but I had seen great things on #bookstagram.

While I don't know a lot about the gymnastics world, I loved the play on words with the book title which is just so cute and clever. But even better, I found Orenstein's writing totally engrossing from the very beginning and this contemporary fiction novel ended up being way more than just a "romance'.

I love books that incorporate working through hard stuff, because who can't relate to that? Head Over Heels delves into the #metoo movement, female friendships, self-destruction, and second chances. Orenstein pulls from what is happening in the real-life gymnastics world and there are discussions of sexual assault, emotional abuse which she doesn't sugar coat. 

While there are many hard issues incorporated into the writing, there is a slow burn romance aspect and just as much focus on the power of female and mentor relationships. I loved this balance and Head Over Heels was just such a satisfying read. I look forward to whatever Hannah Orenstein writes next...and catching up on her backlist!!

When Avery Adams was a teenager, she had her future all figured out. After she medaled in gymnastics at the Olympics, she would go on to work in television, design her own line of active wear, become a motivational speaker. It was going to be perfect.

Instead, her Olympic dreams were crushed when she got injured at the trials, and her long recovery basically ended her career. She tried college, but it wasn’t for her. She moved to L.A. and met a football player. But when that relationship ended, Avery realized she really didn’t have anything keeping her in L.A. In fact, she didn’t have much of anything at all. She didn’t have a career, an education, a relationship. She ended up packing up a couple of suitcases and moving back home to Massachusetts, back to her childhood bedroom.

She had no future. Until Ryan called.

Ryan had been a Olympic quality gymnast too. Only, he made it to the Olympics. He won medals. And now he’s coaching another Olympic hopeful. Hallie is strong and an exceptionally hard worker, but she lacks the finesse that would put her in the top at the Olympic trials. Ryan can coach her fine on the balance beam, vault, and uneven bars. But he can’t give her the help she needs on the floor. He’s heard that Avery was back in town, and he knew that floor was her specialty, so he asks if she’s interested in a job, helping coach Hallie on her floor routine.

Avery isn’t sure at first if she wants to coach, or if she can. But as she spends more time at the gym, she remembers what it was like for her to compete at that top level. She remembers the abusive coach she had and how long it took her to get over his judgments and hurtful comments. She remembers the stress of working out for hours, with a few hours of home school in between the morning and evening training sessions. She remembers not eating, laughing with her friend Jasmine, working through pain, having a crush on Ryan—all of it comes back to her, and this time Avery hopes to protect Hallie from as much of the pain and stress as she can. But when other female gymnasts start coming out with allegations of sexual abuse from a famous doctor, Avery isn’t sure what she can do to help Hallie, or the other young women coming forward.

As the months tick by, getting closer and closer to the Olympic trials, Avery has to decide what it is she wants for this new future she’s building, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to make her new dreams come true.

Head Over Heels from Hannah Orenstein is a charming romance set in the world of competitive gymnastics. The insider’s view of the training schedules and the amount of grit it takes to compete at an international level is fascinating and makes for a unique backdrop to the story of Avery and Ryan.

I really loved this story. I admired Avery for finding a new path for herself, and for creating new avenues for her to communicate what she wants and to help others in need. I enjoyed the world these characters inhabited and loved escaping to the gym whenever I could. Lots of fun!
