I think this book describes the joy and the self-fulfilment that can be gained by participating in sports of any type, at high levels. Obviously, with a female character, this also highlights the feminine spirit that is so popular in literature today. Although I'm not really a fan of boxing it sounds absorbing to read about the character's experiences that are also interspersed with issues in her personal life. Often when a book is well written and as entertaining as this, some errors and typos are not too important as I don't think that they will be noticed by ordinary readers. An absorbing and compelling review of this book.

An inspiring sports based story in the book "Proud to Be Me Rosalinda Part 2" by Jesse Moreno, which follows Rose’s rising career as a championship boxer. The book showcases how the perturbing emotional conflicts can shatter a boxing career. I should be reading this book soon.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Female characters with strong personalities like Rosalinda make the whole story more interesting! I wish I had seen the first book by the same writer!

Thank you for the review! I agree with you that the author should provide background information about some of the characters, because Rob was suddenly mentioned and I didn't know who he is and why she remembered him. Also, the language of the book is so easy and not so attracting to read.

I am discouraged to read this book despite all the good points mentioned, because not only the subject matter is not one of my interests, but more importantly, by very low Average Reviewer Rating the book earned Based on published reviews. Sorry, but I prefer to skip it.

How does our inner emotional conflicts affect our physical performance? I think that's the question this author seeks to answer through the boxer Rosalind. Seems like an intriguing premise. Thank you for your good review.

Thank you for such an informative and insightful review! :)
I have to agree with you on this. The internal struggles sound interesting however the boxing description could quickly get repetitive. Still, an awesome book review!

This seems to be an intriguing book,  indeed. I've never imagined myself reading a book about a boxer’s career. Although it's not my favourite genre, I'm impressed by the uniqueness of the author writing style. It's also interesting that it has strong female characters in this story.

I haven't read the first book, so that's probably where I'd begin. It's good that is there is female representation in boxing because you don't usually find female roles in this genre. Thanks for the reiovew.
