I've been in love with roller derby ever sense I saw my first match as a teen. This book made me feel a lot of the same things. I loved the characters and I felt their struggles. I tend to go into books without knowing anything about them and I did that here too.
I didn't know there was going to be so much talk about self harm because I just got it recommended as queer roller derby. I'm slightly glad I didn't because I tend to stay clear off everything depicting self harm but I didn't mind it in this book. I thought it made it clear it was harmful and why she did it without depicting it as a moral failing on her part or glorifying it.
