I love figure skating and I love this book. Wish I'd found this when I was younger and coming to terms with my own sexuality.

This was rough but good. I liked the layering of stories because that’s how so much works in real life - layered stories forming the whole picture and truth.

I loved On A Sunbeam when I read it last year and I've been meaning to pick up something else by Tillie Walden ever since. I love her illustration style and it worked really well here. The cold and often tense atmosphere of the ice rink felt so palpable and her feelings in different situations came through vividly. It was a really moving and beautiful read and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.
