I had some trouble connecting with the main characters initially, and wasn't too motivated to pick it up again after pausing. Things definitely do pick up once Stasi and Nate get together, and I thought their relationship was sweet. I did get annoyed with how blasé the figure skating coach was towards Aaron's initial meanness towards Stasi

The biggest issue is that there is basically no plot, and when the plot does finally kick in - 40% of the way through the book - it's somehow sidelined. Don't promise me something in the summary and then make me wait 210 pages for it. Because of this, the book dragged on. I found that it had far too much filler and not enough plot. It needed more hockey, more skating, and far less drinking and college students hooking up. On top of that, I found Anastasia to be a whiny and unlikable character. She didn't act like a college senior with Olympic aspirations, but a middle school girl. The book has a perfect set-up for a slow burn, not-quite enemies to lovers, and blew it by having no plot.

the concept is adorable. you can’t get much cuter than an ice skater and a hockey player.
great side characters. like, fucking adorable
way too long
the main conflict happens around the 200 page mark but by then the two main characters are already together sooooo
the main character is adopted and she says she wants to adopt children. but she ends up pregnant in the epilogue anyways 🙃
too many nicknames. i would be happy never reading annie, anastasia, stas, stassie, nate, nathan, or nathaniel ever again
