ONE LIFE

Soccer star Megan Rapinoe explains her on-the-field success and off-the-field social activism with candor in a memoir she narrates well. What makes the audiobook especially engaging is the range of other topics she addresses, including her struggles with sexuality, her experiences growing up as a star female athlete in a male-dominated world, and her anxiety over her brother's addiction and its impact on her family. Unlike many athletes, Rapinoe acknowledges her shortcomings and candidly discusses mistakes she has made. Her well-paced and natural presentation style will make listeners feel as though she is speaking directly to them. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
