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

5.0

This is a beautifully written memoir about learning to find confidence in yourself, reckoning with your own truth, and realizing how beautiful growing up is, even when it is incredibly painful.

It was so powerful to read a story by someone so incredibly successful, who also happens to be shy and anxious and doesn’t have everything figured out. What an amazing life Karina has already lived, and I am happy that she has used her experiences to grow and learn. I hope to continue reading her stories long into the future.
