I'm not a WNBA fan (though not not a fan--I don't really watch any sports), so I didn't know much about BG going in. The book stops at her freshman season, and so much has happened since then, I wish the book had been updated.

I appreciate Griner's story, but I think, despite Griner's reported longtime love of writing, it feels more like a set-the-record-straight effort, which is legit! I can imagine when you're a 6'9 queer Texan Black woman with a few rocky relationships (father, coach, and other players), people make assumptions. Still, Griner doesn't really let the reader inside (perhaps for all the same reasons), so the narrative is a little plodding.
