Leap is a fantastic YA graphic novel about dance and coming of age as a queer teen girl in Romania. It follows Ana who is studying contemporary dance and secretly dating one of the classical ballet students. But their relationship is a little one-sided, and while Ana wants to be out in safe public spaces, her girlfriend wants to keep things private. It deals with the pressures of the dance world, including body issues, but is also about finding what you want and learning to set healthy boundaries. I read it all in one sitting and really loved it. I also don't know that I've read a contemporary story set in Bucharest, so that was cool too! I received a copy of this book for review via NetGalley, all opinions are my own.
