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.

This is the most beautiful and touching autobiography I have ever read. Walden's storytelling was amazing. The strong sense of voice mixed with the simple yet extremely communicative art style sealed this as a five star for me. In every aspect I could feel how this book was a raw release of emotion. I am so glad that this was my introduction to Walden's work and I cannot wait to explore the rest of it

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 :,))
