One Life by Megan Rapinoe

  • Twitter summary: One life to be who you are, no exceptions.
  • The good: I have followed women’s soccer on and off for years — I still heartbreakingly remember the Canadian loss at the 2012 Olympics to the USA — but I don’t recall directly hearing about Rapinoe (can’t blame me, I am Canadian). However, I’m glad I read this book: Rapinoe fights for justice and tells her story simply with no apologies. This book was easy to read, brutally honest and engaging. I am now going to spend a few hours watching her highlight reels, on and off the field.
  • The bad: At times, I wish Rapinoe went deeper into the injustices she experienced; I found the narrative a bit surface level.
  • Recommendation: Yes
  • Overall rating: 4/5 World Cups
