Spinning is not what I expected. I expected to get lost in the world of figure skating and to be taken back to fond memories of watching the Olympics with my mom. Either way, I expected to dive deep into the world of figure skating, and in many different ways, that’s exactly what Spinning did. Maybe it’s the fact that I don’t like to read what the book is about before reading the book. I just don’t work that way. I’ve never picked up a book, read the cover, then read the book and been like, “Jeez, I’m sure glad I read the damn cover first!”
