Starting a thread for news and information about Gracie Gold's memoir that's scheduled to be published on February 6, 2024, according to Gracie's August 2nd IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvcmf4huO6i/
When I sat down to write my book, I wanted to offer an inside look into the high-pressure world of figure skating that’s been a second home to me since I was a kid.
What came is a culmination of so much healing for me—an introspective examination of my struggles with mental health, disordered eating, and a crushing drive for perfection—and ultimately, my fight to survive.
In introducing you to outofshapeworthlessloser, I share a side of myself that I haven’t shared before—because she's an integral part of my healing, because I hope she sparks conversation and positive change in the sport that I love, and because I hope she can provide guidance and a way forward for anyone struggling with similar issues.

It's co-written with Karen Crouse (former New York Times sports journalist who first revealed the depth of Gracie's struggles in January 2019):
