5 Frigid Stars
I lovvvvveeee Friends to lover so freaking much! This was the 3rd time I have read this book and the first time I have “listened.”
And I still love Sydney and Kyler’s story as much as I did the first time.
It was a little immature but it is what I loved about this book. They are in College and just getting to know who they are. So that childish head state is there and you kind of expect it.
I love the two narrators it really helped with the pov’s and I got to say they did a great job. Though I think I would want to just pick up my paperback because I just loved the book that way for so long.
And if you know me you know I am allll about the audiobook, I guess I just have that eye reading connection with this beauty.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

I enjoyed this, but my god, you can tell it was written in the 2010s. I'm looking forward to reading this author's newer works. I liked the writing and the characters, but some of it just felt so... Dated and cringey. It was an easy, quick winter read and kept my attention.
I have been looking forward to Frigid for forever and was SO excited that it got released 2 weeks early! As soon as I got home that day, I sat myself down and read.
*sigh* *swoon*
I LOVE KYLER.
End of review.
Just kidding, I'll give you guys a little more than that. But seriously, J. Lynn writes the most swoon worthy men! I don't know what it is, but I fall hard for every single one of them.
Kyler and Sydney have been best friends ever since they can remember. Sydney is the cautious, quiet one. Kyler is a playboy. Despite their differences, they are still best friends. And because of that, even though Sydney is in love with him, she hides her feelings because their friendship is too important.
"Kyler [was] completely off-limits due to the fact that we'd been inseparable since the day he pushed me off the merry-go-round and told me I had cooties for trying to hold his hand."
As unlikely a pair as they are, they're still best friends, now in college. Every year they head to a ski lodge with friends before going home for Christmas but this year, a blizzard rolls in and traps them alone in the cabin.
Raise your hand if you wouldn't mind being trapped with Kyler aka Mr. Washboard Abs Man. You should ALL be raising your hands.
Sure, he's a playboy but Kyler's honestly the sweetest guy ever. He cares for Sydney more than anything and protectively watches out for her. But he always thought of her as just too good for him.
"I still was the same white trash boy from the trailer park who couldn't believe the pretty little girl in class wanted to be friends."
I loved their friendship. I loved how they knew each other so well, inside and out and yet they couldn't see what was so obvious to everyone else. At least now they're stuck together and are forced to hit the issue head on. Except not really head on. There's so much tension and back and forth that I just wanted to be like no guys, agh! Sit. Kiss. Love each other and be happy! Ha, good thing I don't write books because I can imagine they would be short and too happy.
On top of Kyler and Sydney figuring out what is going on between them, there is some stalker that's targeting them while they're stuck in the cabin. I liked this aspect because it gave kind of a creepy, goosebumps-on-your-arms feel to it. It definitely provided an interesting facet to the story.
Frigid is written in both Kyler and Sydney's POVs and this worked out beautifully. I loved seeing what was going on in Kyler's head and it makes you love him all the more, especially as you see how he's always loved Sydney.
Gahh it's amazing. Go buy and read! You know you want to meet Kyler. Oh, did I mention he also plays guitar?
*sigh* *swoon*

I was looking for an easy read, as a break to the classics I always read and this was indeed a very easy read. I won't say that it was a bad book, it was enjoyable and relaxing and you really didn't have to think a lot or concentrate. It was very predictable and transparent though and felt cheap most of the time. If you read the back of the book, you already knew how it was going to end. Sydney was portrayed very 'pick-me' (petite, small, tine, frigid etc.) while Kyler was portrayed as the strong guy who had to protect her. This made me cringe the entire time. I'm not an outspoken feminist, but it just got anoying after a while. She's not a child, she can take care of herself. On the other side, everytime Kyler left her for a moment, something happened to her... There weren't many other characters, (only Andrea, Tanner, Sasha and Zach and maybe a few other unimportant...) that actually didn't play a big role in the plot. The 'mystery' felt a bit forced, I knew right from the moment I read Zach's name and read a few lines further, that he would turn about to be the one who stalks them. The fact that both didn't feel like the other one liked them is a bit cringe to me, I don't think that if you've known someone for such a long time and you're actually in love with the other one that it is still a secret, certainly if the feelings are mutual . That didn't take away the fact that I enjoyed reading this book and that it offered a nice break.
These two seemed incredibly immature and needed to talk to each other. The book was interesting enough, but didn't seem like adults that were graduating from college.
