Alright, here’s my take on Unsteady. If you’re into sports romance with a dash of emotional healing and gritty character journeys, this book has its appeal. But honestly, it didn’t hit the mark for me, and it fell flat with some issues I think could have been improved upon.

We’ve got Rhys, the hockey star struggling with trauma, and Sadie, the spitfire figure skater who’s tough as nails but drowning in her own troubles. Their chemistry is intense, and I appreciated the way Corinne tackled mental health, showing the realities of PTSD and panic attacks through Rhys. Sadie’s backstory and her fierce, survival-focused attitude added a complex, interesting layer too. Yet, despite the promising setup, the pacing and depth felt a bit off.

The romance felt somewhat rushed, and I found the character development uneven at times, leaving me wanting more depth from both leads. Rhys’s struggles were realistic, but there wasn’t enough time for him to process and grow from them in a way that felt fulfilling. And while Sadie had a compelling edge, her reputation as the “bad girl” on campus wasn’t as fleshed out as I hoped, so her journey didn’t hit as hard as it could have.

If you’re looking for a romance with emotional weight and a dash of drama, Unsteady might work for you. But if you want a story that dives deep and lets the characters really grow, this one might feel a bit unsteady on its own two feet. 💔
