I tried to , but when I hit submit it wouldn't work. I even changed my name to Jeanie19. I will try again. And of course it's 5 stars.

That’s so kind of you :

But Amazon reviews are more likely to sell books.

They are right there on the same page as the one-click button.

I did the review. Amazon said it will take a few days to appear.

My grandmother found out I’d written a book and bought up thirteen copies to give to all of her friends. What an absolute LEGEND.

No one asked for this update, but my paperback copy finally arrived today and I’m CRYING. (Inside. Metaphorically. Not really.)

Welcome to Golden Skate. Post often. And I do recommend the book.

I read this on my way to San Jose. Enjoyed it a lot.

I stumbled upon this thread that I totally forgot I made after four years while I was poking around in here for book recs, and I don't know whether I feel nostalgic or embarrassed, haha. I wrote this in my last year of high school and didn't really edit comprehensively, so after a few years I took it off of Amazon because I felt it needed more polishing if I wanted to present it as something others could read. Still, I look back fondly on this time, and am glad to be reminded of how kind everyone was when this book came out.

It's especially timely because after four years and a bunch of other unrelated writing projects, I ended up back at my 'write about skating' default in my final year of undergrad with a duology of coming-of-age novels about a pair of young Japanese skaters. [I wanted to include a screenshot from the manuscript of the now-in-progress second book as a kind of life update, but that's not allowed, I fear...] I guess you could say that all started with FDFMN, so this was a pretty neat thread to revisit.

So. Thanks, everyone, for bearing with me when I was tiny and (more) cringe (thank I am now)
