I liked the idea of the story and the story got better later on. It was kind of hard to like the characters in the beginning and the plot was a little slow.

I didn’t really see where the plot was going. Like it to me was just a figure skater and a hockey player having sex the whole book except for the last few chapters. But even then I thought it was dense and hard to have interest in

4.0

Genuinely enjoyed this as a lighthearted read (even if got slightly more x rated than I was expecting). Would call it a perfect holiday read.
I would say, these are such *perfect* characters with their loveable qualities and ability to process emotions with therapy - it bordered on unrealistic and slightly took away from getting into the story.
