LOVED IT.
A dazzling mix of passion, rivalry, and ambition on the ice. Kat and Heath’s magnetic relationship will give you palpitations from start to finish. And for a touch of extra magic, look up “ice dance skating” exhibitions online — it’s insane how realistically and beautifully the author describes them, making you feel like you’re right there watching.

Really enjoyed the audio version bringing this story to life. Felt like I was watching a skating documentary. Interesting mix of characters and the author did a nice job keeping the relationships real and complex.

this got to be so unrealistic and frustrating but not in a way that made me root for anyone.
there wasn’t even any redemption or an ending that made the drama worth it? wtf??

Very compelling, fun read. It is your typical "scandalous" and dramatic fictional book about figure skating, but I enjoyed it anyway
