All in: An Autobiography by Billie Jean King
3.5
slow-paced

This was chock-full of so many great things and events. The only audiobooks I can listen to are memoirs. I love it and this time... I struggled. Billie Jean King is a terrible narrator. This book was insanely long and there's a lot of name-dropping and it took me out of the flow. She's an amazing woman and this does not take that away from her, at all. You just can't do everything! I had my audio at 2X and it was still too slow.  That being said, it was great hearing about all her experiences, struggles, and how she overcame them. She's a tennis player but this isn't really about tennis. It's more about her and her life through tennis. Thank you, Billie Jean King, for all the AMAZING things you have done for women. *applaud*
