I'm not sure where to start with this book, there are so many things that I loved about it!!!!
~friendship - it was great to see true friendships in this book, (especially with the Cally and her girlfriends!) keeping the ones back in Vermont and developing new ones in Colorado, standing up for yourself and your friends
~family - Cally lost her mom several years ago and she has a great relationship with her dad! Loved seeing this in a YA book!
~skiing - not something you typically see in books, I love Cally's confidence with her abilities plus she encouraged and helped fellow skiers (and snowboarders) - and I have to mention Melanie did a fantastic job describing what it felt like going down the hill.
~romance - I loved seeing the development of the relationship between Cally and Blake! It felt very real! (ok, the entire book was very real, nothing was too over-the-top which was so refreshing!)
I highly recommend this book!! There is so much more to this book than just a YA skiing romance!
