anakuroma 's review for:

Ana on the Edge by A.J. Sass
4.0

TW: mentions of bullying, transphobia, deadnaming/misgendering, parental abandonment (in past).

Throughly enjoyed this, more than Ellen outside the Lines surprisingly. Jumped through Ana on the edge it in one sitting. The exploration of gender and growing up, along with the backdrop of ice skating was interesting and well strung along without slow or unnecessary side plots. Great characters, flawed but easy to understand and likable.

Only gripe is the 'liar revealed' trope sprinkled near the end for a bit of extra and a tad unbelievable drama, but honestly the rest was good enough to negate my dislike of this trope.
