A few pages of her tutor

trying to sexually assault her

and a couple of homophobia when she come out but the main focus is on her finding herself through ice skating and other hobbies.

I identified a lot with the author's story. The illustrations were very nice, and I appreciated the use of color. Overall a solid read.

I really enjoyed this! As someone who was a competitive dancer, I could relate to a few different aspects of a sport that takes a lot out of you, especially when you're not sure you even want to do it anymore. The ending really got me; there were a lot of things Walden said that resonated with me. I wish all the best for her, she deserves it.

An interesting memoir about the author’s experience with competitive ice skating and the things going on in her life that impacted her along the way. Overall, enjoyable and thoughtful. There could have been more reflection on themes, but from the author’s note it sounds like the author didn’t want to reflect on the themes of her life herself, which is fine.
