A review by emeraldeunoia
Spinning by Tillie Walden

inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

I didnt expect this to handle such heavy topics?? but it did it in such a good way (obviously since its a memior) everything felt real. Just imagining someone going through all of that is very suprising. 

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.
