Feels very real, which I guess makes sense, as its a memoir. I think the authors note saying how this was designed to reflect how she was feeling growing up is a good description. The book felt like emotions in the pages.

Easily one of the best graphic novels and memoirs of all time. An emotional, tense, and dark coming of age story tethered to Walden's history as a figure skater. This is a book that makes you lie down and stare into space for an hour after you've finished it. Walden's art, her composition and use of a strong, simple style, make each moment even more impactful. Do NOT miss this one.

I'm a big fan of Tillie Walden since I read On a Sunbeam.  I can't say enough good things about this book.  There's a lot of emotional vulnerability and I loved the author's note at the end explaining that not everything was accurate, like the outfits they wore, the time/date of the competitions, etc.  What was true, was the they they felt during their ice skating years and that was the important thing for the reader to experience.
