*2.75


This was a book I anticapated reading a lot this year, but overall it was pretty middle of the road for me. The romance was pretty instalovey, and I didn't really like the some of the character relationships and friendships in here, and the problems in the relationships weren't really resolved in the end. And the ending was TOO perfect if that makes sense. Their is supposed to be a sequel coming out next year so I may read that, but based on the ending here, the questions I wanted answered weren't, and they wouldn't make that great of a sequel.


I did really enjoy the ice skating (which is mainly what this book is about), and that's really why I gave this book such a high rating. I love any kind of ice sport, ice skating being my #1 favorite, and will always watch the competion's on TV. When I was younger, I was the kind of kid to take every sport at least once, and ice skating was one I stuck with for about a year, after that year in which I decided I was going to be a soft ball player (which lasted all but 4 seconds). But often times I wish I stuck with it, because it is such an amazing sport, and so much fun to watch and read about.


Overall it was ok, but it felt like a book for the younger side of YA or a older middle grade novel, which isn't always a bad thing, but the way the author tried to write it and how it ended up executed just didn't work for me.


May try and read the sequel if I feel motivated to do so. Going to add it to my to-read list anyways though.
