📖 Ana On The Edge by A.J. Sass Book Review 📖 

10th book of January and 10th of the year: 

I absolutely loved this queer sports book! The representation and the conversations/information about gender, exploring your own gender, pronouns and neopronouns, and more in it were amazing. I loved the characters, and it was a beautiful coming of age and coming into yourself story! I definitely recommend picking it up! TW for deadnaming, misgendering, dysphoria/social gender dysphoria, paternal abandonment/an absent father, financial worries, and transphobia📖🏳️‍⚧️⛸

Oh my goodness I loved this adorable book so so much! Ana is working on figure skating, but the traditionally girlie routine, outfit, and music she is given don't fit her. She goes into a journey of self-discovery figuring out who she is and the nonbinary label that ends up working for her.

I really loved this journey. It was so real and emotional and even though it is a middle grade, I feel like it was very mature and dealt with Ana's problems in a very real way. I also really enjoyed the figure skating aspects of this book! I love Ana's friends, coach, mom! Also a gay figure skating coach and a trans friend! Love this one.
