Over Spring Break, I read this book. It is the story of a male figure skater as he tries to overcome stereotypes and become a champion. Throughout the story, he struggles with the relationship between himself and a Canadian pairs skater. Yes, the character is gay, but that is not really a big issue in the book.
To be honest, I think maybe this book was a fanfiction that the author decided to get published, which resulted in changing the names. It seems to chronicle the life of figure skater Johnny Weir pretty closely. I can't pretend to know many details of Johnny's life, but it doesn't seem like the characters and events are just coincidence.
Here's the Amazon link
On another note...
I finished Inside Out, and it was incredibly good. I definitely did not see the big reveal coming until right before. Maria V. Snyder totally had me confused about what would happen until close to the end.
