Moderate: Outing and Sexual assault
Due to the time in which it takes place, any story involving a character coming out is going to be rife with homophobia. Well it is definitely a aspect of the story it is not the whole story.barnesbookshelf's review

tillie walden’s skill as a visual storyteller really shines in this memoir. it was an impactful read for me because even though it’s a memoir, i saw a lot of my teenaged self in it.

so much more than ice skating. The emotional depth and the way the author translated that into images blew me away. The Eisner Award for this book is so incredibly well deserved. It's only March, but I'm pretty sure this will end up being one of my favorite reads of the year!

Wow I feel this so hard, when you've dedicated almost your whole life to something and then you let it go. For me it was classical piano: the exams, the endless practices, the recitals, the smell of the rooms, the self-talk during playing, the perfectionism and the validation of being finally good at something, all of it is so visceral still. It is beautiful when there's a feeling or narrative you've had for so long and it never makes sense when it comes out of your mouth but then you find a book and they get it. Someone understands. Thank you Tillie.

queer people unite and we are the best no question. I'm rooting for you
