Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for a free review.

This was such a nice and refreshing book!

Mighty was definitely a tiny bit annyoying at first, with her self-hatred and comments she made about herself. But the way she grew from it and started to realize that she can be good at things...
What definitely set this book apart from others where the main character gets tangled into their own lies, is the character growth and Mighty's self-awareness. She knows that her lies, ones that she previously said without thinking about the consequences, are bad and she also knows that the longer she keeps it up, it's going to be just worse as time passes by. Mighty's aware as she overcomes her insecurities, that she needs to do something to make things right - and she does! I loved the fact that she decided to just communicate her worries about various things that were on her mind, from the try-out laps to the lie she told Spiny. She was also not afraid to apologize for her mistakes and that was honestly so nice to see (especially in a book targeted to teens).
Another thing I liked was the sense of community and friendship around the team, especially the characters closest to Mighty. I loved how her relationship with Stork progressed from the kind of annoyance and jealousy to a wonderful bond. Mighty's relationships with Pumpkin, Stork, her other teammates and her family were all nicely complex and felt so natural, while not taking away from the plot too much.
The pacing was fine too, only sometimes it felt a bit slow, but I don't think it took too much away from my reading.
