On Top of Glass: My Stories as a Queer Girl in Figure Skating by Karina Manta
4.0
This was recommended to me from a librarian, it is definitely not something I would have chosen on my own. Overall I think this was a good book, although it is not something I am very interested in. I did find this book better than I had expected it’s just not something that I was super excited to read about.
The figure skating parts were interesting but I would not seek out the information on my own.
Her journey with her sexuality was insightful and I really enjoyed the way it was told, definitely my favorite part of the book.
I did skip over most parts about her eating disorder.
I would love to know where some of the other people in the story ended up.
I loved that it ended with her joining the circus, but i would love to hear more stories about the circus. If she writes a sequel about that I would definitely read it!
