Let the Games Begin by Rufaro Faith Mazarura
4.0
the PERFECT book to read right now with the @olympics! ππ€β€οΈππ
i loved this one β a fun and fascinating story more of self-development than just romance, taking place at a fictional athens 2024 olympic games (mostly in the village! which was so cool to βpeek intoβ!), with a volunteer and the fastest man in the world.
it tackles some deeper themes β loss of a parent, grief and anxiety, parental expectations and pressure, figuring out who you are and what you want, etc! and the romance fades to black while still having great chemistry and fun flirtatiousness.
as i watched the games open yesterday, i kept talking about this book and how many cool little things i learned or picked up from it, and iβm loving thinking about how all the olympians are spending their time when not training and competing.
highly recommend reading this one this summer!
