Her Modern Love essay I Can't Hate My Body if I Love Hers was published in the New York Times, and then she joined the circus--Cirque du Soleil's on-ice show, AXEL.Karina's memoir covers these experiences and much more. Attending a high school with 4,000 students, you'd expect to know more than two openly gay students, but Karina didn't meet an out-lesbian until she was nearly seventeen--let alone any other kind of queer woman. But this isn't just a story about her queerness. It's also a story about her struggle with body image in a sport that prizes delicate femininity. It's a story about panic attacks, and first crushes, and all the crushes that followed, and it's a story about growing up, feeling different than everybody around her and then realizing that everyone else felt different too.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
