Just between us / Adeline Kon.
"A figure skater grapples with the pressure to perform and her changing feelings when her competitor starts training at the same rink"-- Provided by publisher.
Lydia Chen knows how good she is on the ice. Technically perfect, she's been the one to beat since her debut years ago. Except now, something is missing in her performances--a spark that's been gone for a while. Between the constant training, appealing to sponsors to fund her, and the pressure to perform, Lydia's passion for skating has disappeared. When her rival Elaine Yee starts training at the same rink, Lydia's struck by the emotion in Elaine's routines and unwillingly finds herself getting closer to her as they compete for a spot in the Olympics. As the tension between them comes to a head, Lydia's about to find out how a competitor can become an ally and figure out how to feel alive on the ice again in this tender, compelling, and beautifully illustrated debut graphic novel.
