Coming Up for Air

December 24, 2021

It is always interesting when reading an autobiography to hear the details of someone's life that are so different from your own, and this is no different. What struck me about Tom Daley is the amount of extreme pressure he has lived all aspects of his life under, including diving results, losing his father, weight management, and life as a gay man and parent in the tabloids. (All at such a young age)

In some ways, I liked how the chapters are about different themes. However, I did miss it being in chronological order to understand better which things were happening simultaneously. There are lovely details, but I feel there could have been more, almost like this is just scratching the surface. At the end of each chapter, Daley gives an overview of his current feeling about that subject. You can't help but feel this is a bit of a motivational speech that he is trying to tell himself and the reader, rather than believing it wholeheartedly.

An easy, enjoyable, quick read, although bordering a bit too much on a self-help book.
