Writing: 3.75⭐️/5 

The writing was unremarkable. There were one or two lines that were quite well done, but mostly it was adequate and even, which made for a really fast reading experience. Also, much of the writing was VERY tell-y versus actually showing the audience. It wasn’t poorly done, necessarily; I just wish it had been finessed a bit more. 

Characters: 4.5⭐️/5

The characters are uniquely lovable. I’m not sure how realistic they are, but they’re certainly quite fun to read about. I do wish we got a bit more understanding of the motives behind Aaron, our MC’s skating partner, as we aren’t fully let in to understand why he’s doing the things that he’s doing. Otherwise, the characters were very fun and vibrant. 

Plot: 3.75⭐️/5 

The plot was fun, but not extremely well-paced. Certain sections could have been sped up, while others were much too tell-y and not doing enough to show us what was happening. About three-quarters the way through the book I was confused as to how the story wasn’t over, but then the plot “re-thickened,” even though I kind of thought it was resolving. I really wish this was coalesced a bit better instead of feeling so segmented. 

Post-Reading Rating:  3.25⭐️/5

Could have done without the epilogue honestly. Kind of ruined it for me.

Who Should Read This? 

• Fans of modern-day romance
• Fans of enemies to lovers
• Fans of overprotective-without-being-toxic love interests

CW: Death of a parent, pregnancy, eating disorder, blood, sexual content 

Final Rating: 4⭐️/5
