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!

I felt and hoped and feared along with Tillie the entire way through. I know it took a lot of bravery to be so honest about her experiences as a young queer woman, dealing with others' expectations and homophobia. But I truly believe that sharing this part of her story is going to help so many other young people understand themselves, and know it's okay to quit sometimes.

Bref, c’était le seul défaut du livre. J’ai apprécié le rythme du récit, son ton très personnel et surtout l’art de Tillie Walden. Comme toujours, elle trouve le moyen de faire passer beaucoup de choses dans les compositions et les contrastes.
Belle édition avec du papier épais. J’ai lu le livre en seulement deux périodes de lecture tant il était captivant.

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.
