3.5/5 - this book started out perfect and progressively ruined itself. at first i couldn’t put it down and i was so happy to finally have a 5 star read again BUT NO IT JUST HAD TO DRAG AND DRAG AND DRAG!!!!!! I’M MAD :(
1- WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO GET PREGNANT AND MARRY ETCETC, IT’S SO CLICHÉ AND WAS UNCALLED FOR IN THIS STORYLINE
2- THE BOOK IS TOOOOO LONG BUT SOMEHOW THE ENDING FEELS SO RUSHED?? SHE JUST GOES AND BECOMES A SOLO SKATER AND WINS THE GOLD AT OLYMPICS???? WHAT
3- i wish it focused more on figure skating… there are only a handful of books where the mc is a figure skater so i was looking forward to be in that competitive world, get to know other figure skaters she’s competing against but sadly figure skating parts are not in detail
4-the uber scene? i don’t understand the logistics, while i was reading that part and trying to imagine the scenario, it just made 0 sense. if stass is on nate’s lap because there’s nowhere else to sit, how come no one else is sitting on the back with them? eh i don’t know
the last topic i want to touch on is, there are 2 versions of this book:
one with a muslim character called sabrina (brin) and one with a red headed white non muslim character called lola, they’re both the same characters. i was switching between audiobook and reading (mostly read and my book had the sabrina version) and i was so confused who lola was so i thought it must be a nickname for sabrina and i missed the context or something. i saw some people were mad that sabrina (muslim version of the character) was partying and drinking, but i live in an islamic country and most muslim people i know do drink and party so that’s not a mistake on the author’s part.
that’s all, that’s the review, i want to sleep after reading that ending even though it’s only 3pm, bye bye

Fairly fun overall. This was my first hockey romance, and since I love ice skating AND hockey - I did enjoy the concept overall.
Anastasia was not my favorite FMC. She was rude, caustic, and utterly oblivious for most of the book. She did mellow out some, while keeping her back one - so it got better - but damn.
Coach Faulkner was also horrible. I hope there aren't coaches like that in real life, but I am sure there are.
Nathan saved this book for me. I adored him.
The hockey guys were also great.

it just wouldn't end. I feel like i've hit 3 different good stopping spots but there's still a lot of the book left. I'm bored so i'm going to move on.

GO TO YOUR LOCAL BOOK STORE AND BUY THIS!
I fell in love with everything that was going on! So well written, VERRY graphic and detailed. But oh my lord do I want to read more. One of those books you can finish in one day, if you have the time.
Would highly recommend this book!
