Thank you to Harper Collins for the advanced copy of "It's a Love/Skate Relationship."
Charlie and Alexa are endearing and realistic teenagers. Charlie has the tendency to get into trouble, get's less than perfect grades and has a streak of doing spontaneous things that could disrupt the course of her life. Alexa is a perfectionist who avoids friendships with other girls because of how cutthroat the figure skating world has proven to be. She finds that she feels safer in that lonely bubble. Through the book both girls grow through their issues at times, individually, but also with the guidance of the other. I had a really lovely time reading about these two, and while the sports aspect is always fun, their relationship didn't hinge on the details of the sports, it was truly a relationship between the girls that did not rely on hockey or figure skating to keep them together.
