On Top of Glass: My Stories as a Queer Girl in Figure Skating by Karina Manta

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

This was an amazing and heartfelt recounting of the author's experience around ice skating, being queer, and the challenges of how tiny sports like skating demand that you be. The writing is beautiful and I deeply enjoyed being allowed a glimpse into her world. As a queer person myself, and someone who has been in a sport that demands impossibly tiny bodies, I felt a kinship with the author. Wonderful read, highly recommend watching her skate videos after you read the book!
