DID NOT FINISH: 37%

DNF @ 37% - I was listening to the audiobook and I was about 5hrs in (I stopped on chapter 30). I’m super disappointed to not finish the book because so many people rave about it, but it was so dramatic. All of the characters were unlikable and I don’t think I could listen to another 8HRs of them being petty and awful. I also just wasn’t invested, like I’m not even particularly curious about what the ultimate scandal was or why we would be tuning into this story. 

May a love like this NEVER find me.. at least this book was addictive.. I couldn’t look away from the train wreck

I should have realised really with this being Wuthering Heights inspired but I came for the ice skating and there was not much of that and mostly just two people being toxic to each other

I can’t even describe how much I loved this book.
Easiest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve given in months. Oh my WORD it was incredible. So many roller coaster moments. Un-put-down-able. The audio was amazing and I can’t recommend it enough.

Absolute Perfection! I loved the writing style of this book - alternating from a documentary transcript to short chapters from Katarina’s point of view, this book was thrilling, funny, and downright addicting. A story about childhood ice dancing partners and their Olympic journey. If you love Taylor Jenkins Reid, you will LOVE this book! Run, don’t walk to read this!!
