3.0
It follows Anastasia, a partner figure skater headed to the Olympics, and Nate, the captain of the hockey team headed for the NLS. They of course are enemies to lovers forced to use the same icerink after the hockey teams' rink is destroyed by vandals. I didn't love how Anastasia was that classic female trope who is an uptight, A-type, rule-following girl who is 'fixed' by her chill, go-with-the-flow boyfriend. Anastasia deals with an eating disorder, an overbearing controlling skating partner, and commitment issues all while trying to make it to the Olympics.
I would gladly completely rip out the 2 years later epilogue it gave me such ick.
My main critique comes with the first two chapters that intro our main characters. The main male's chapter starts with him waking up next to a naked woman, having blacked out. It never addresses this as rape and largely ignores men being taken advantage of but does highlight that being drunk=no consent.
Tropes: reader girl/jock boy, dainty itty bitty tiny girl/massive man, man fixes the girl, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, falling in an ice cold lake
