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.

inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

I didnt expect this to handle such heavy topics?? but it did it in such a good way (obviously since its a memior) everything felt real. Just imagining someone going through all of that is very suprising.

The novel follows Walden (or Tillie) as she gains and then loses passion for ice-skating. It starts with her moving from new jersey to texas and having to adjust to everything there, which i think can be very relatable to people who have had to move throughout school.

I went into this not knowing much about it or that it was a true story so the entire story was really captivating and suprising. I dont see how someone couldnt like this book to be honest.

This book shows all the struggles that are happening in her life, coming out, school, orchestra, and figure skating. All while having to keep everything balanced. I think this a great book that goes deep into the feelings of a young girl and really shows lots of different moments and feelings that are happing. 🤍

emotional reflective

i love graphic novels and i think all tillie walden’s work exemplifies why for me. in the author’s note she says this memoir was more about sharing a feeling than memories and that came across so well - i got completely pulled into to the mood and connected really strongly with a lot of it (read this at kind of a perfect time wrt to some feelings i’m working out irl :,))
