I loved this book. I really enjoyed the way the characters flowed together and fitted as a couple. I wasn't necessarily fond of the way that Kyler played the damsel in distress act with Sydney i felt like she was a character that could handle herself with or without him there.
Even with the things I didn't totally agree with, I still found this to be a good read and I really enjoy the way that Jennifer L. Armentrout (J. Lynn) writes her stories and captivates me from the start.

Edit 12/20/14: After browsing and reviewing my reviews, I can't help but notice that I sound maybe a teensy weensy bit condescending in this one. Sorry, guys. If you love this book, no probs. We cool. To those who haven't read the book, please don't let this review dissuade you from reading it. There are lots of people who found this wonderful but sadly, I am not one of them. Still, I think you should give this a try and see for yourselves. That's all. Thank you. *bows*

After finishing Frigid, I can't help but wonder how people were even able to digest it and rave about what an awesome book it is! Really, people? This book was nothing but plain boring and predictable, and annoying and I'm already being really generous by giving this a one-star rating. If not really for the minor characters and some funny moments, I would've totally dnfed this already.
Frigid is just yet another clichéd story between two best friends who are secretly in love with each other and all that shit. Sydney's been in love with Kyler since like forever and though he feels the same way, too, instead of pursuing her, he did exactly the opposite and screwed around with other girls because he feels that he's not "good enough" for her and she's the kind of girl who deserves someone "better."
Seriously???
Well you know what, I think that is just bullshit. If my bestfriend was secretly in love with me, I think I'd pretty much notice it. I also wouldn't deprive myself the opportunity of being with him because I'm not good enough for him or because he deserves someone better. If I wasn't good enough for him, we'd never even be best friends in the first place so that reason Kyler has there is a total bullshit.
And if the guy and I had been best friends since preschool, I don't think it would take until we're both stranded at a ski resort for us to declare our undying love for each other. And it certainly wouldn't begin with me - for goodness' sake - begging the guy to do me like he does the other girls and then worrying that the guy regretted doing it with you the day after. I admire that Sydney is a woman who is aware of her sexual needs. And isn't afraid to go after them. Clap. Clap. But come on, don't go whinin' the next morning whether Kyler regretted what happened between you two. The main question is, did you? Sydney, despite being 21-years old, is not even close to being a woman. She's like a child! All she ever did was whine and overthink worthless things such as "Oh, Kyler must regret what happened to us last night." Kyler this, Kyler that. Blah blah blah.
Congratuwelldone J. Lynn for making a character who is the epitome of stupidity. I think I just found my newest most-hated main character of all time. I think she'd be sticking in the first place for a while.
I am practically done. There's even more actually, a lot more that I despised about this book and if I let myself recall and write them all here, I think I'd totally destroy myself. I'd be so done than I already am now. No, thank you. I've had enough already.

me encantó, son súper cutes, no era exactamente el cliché que estaba buscando para salir de bloqueo aunque si ayudo un poco.

It was OK. Solo puedo decir que estuvo meh, es uno de esos libros que no me acordaré que leí, no tiene nada memorable, es solo para pasar el tiempo and that's it. Pero no me aburrió y cumplió el propósito por el que lo lei that's why 2 stars :)

Jennifer L. Armentrout, no hay libro que haya leído de esta autora que no me haya gustado, y han llegado hasta el punto de amarlos, adoro la forma en la que escribe, en el modo en el que sus personajes cobran vida dentro de cada página y hacen que tu corazón salte del pecho (okey, no, pero a mi me pasa jajaja). Este libro, Frigid, hace mucho tiempo lo quise leer, pero no había traducción hasta que encontré por fin el hermoso librito en español!
La historia está narrada desde el punto de vista de los protagonistas, Sydney y Kyler y esto ya es un punto a favor, casi siempre narran las chicas, así que, tener el punto de vista de él, es algo que siempre hace que un libro me guste un poco más. Sydney y Kyler se conocen desde chiquitos y desde ese momento han sido amigos, pero a medida que fueron creciendo, ellos se enamoraron, lo que sucede es que ninguno de los dos se atreve a decirlo, por lo que sus sentimientos quedan vagando en el limbo y no saben que la otra persona está enamorada de ellos. Un lio bárbaro, y aunque la historia hasta este punto es bastante comuncita, me gusta mucho la forma de Jenn de meternos en la misma y las escenas, más los personajes...
Empecemos con Sydney (las damas primero).
Sydney es una chica linda y muy inteligente, pero que no es la típica 90-60-90 con las que Kyler está acostumbrado a salir. Su autoestima es un poquitín bajita y eso me molestó, se tiraba todo el tiempo a bajo, pero es un personaje fuerte y decidido, no una tonta que se echa a llorar (tal vez sí, pero sigue adelante, no se ahoga en un mar de lágrimas y aquí me muero yo). Me gustó bastante, si bien no es el personaje que más me gustó de Armentrout, es linda y dulce cuando quiere.
Ahora hablemos de Kyler, como es usual en esta autora, nos presenta un hombre irrealmente caliente que yo no sé dónde corno está en la realidad, pero Kyler es algo así como el "chico de oro, perfecto que toda chica quiere tener". Pero a pesar de que sale con cuanta mujer se le pasa por enfrente, está enamorado de Sydney desde pequeños, pero él siempre se sintió menos que ella, ya que la pone en un pedestal. (Spoiler: cuando él era chico, era pobre, por lo que se siente "impuro" o algo así, con respecto a ella. Esta parte fue agridulce, era tierno poorque la veía demasiado increíble, ese amor idealizado, pero por otro lado, me molestó que el personaje se sintiera tan menos, tan poca cosa).
Kyler es un pelín engreído, pero con un corazón de oro y una labia que te mata. Es un chico bastante común (dejando de lado que es precioso, ¿no?), pero no tiene características muy definidas en sí. Ahora bien, la relación entre ambos personajes me encantó, como va evolucionando y los problemas que "ser amigos" les va trayendo a lo largo de la historia. Si bien, sabemos que quedan encerrados por una tormenta de nieve y que esta no puede durar 8 meses o algo así, me pareció muy poco tiempo en el que se desarrolla todo...
Conclución, la historia es un poco ya vista, pero Armentrout concigue con esto, hacer algo completamente adictivo y atrayente, adoré Frigid, hubo momentos en los que Sydney me hacía llorar y reír, y la verdad, es que lo disfruté mucho. Saludos, Danna.

Jennifer L. Armentrout has always been one of my favorite authors, and writing as J. Lynn she continues to do what she does best. Frigid is full of everything you expect out of Jennifer, humor, romance, a swoon worthy guy, and a crap ton of steam.. This book has sitting on my kindle for a long time now, and with the news of Scorched I figured it was time to give this one a shot. I literally devoured this book, I started it ten o'clock at night and finished it in my fourth period class the next day.
I loved that Frigid is told in both Sydney's and Kyler's point of view. In Jen's other New Adult books doesn't have that, which makes this one stand out a bit more for me. You get to see Sydney and her struggle with her feelings towards Kyler, and how she puts it on the back burner for the sake of their friendship. Then Kyler who thinks he isn't good enough for her. I had a strong emotional connection to these characters, I will even admit to getting teary eyed at a few parts. But I loved seeing Kyler slowly come to admit that he did love Sydney more than friend and taking that step towards making their friendship more.
"In reality, even though I’d been with everyone else, I’d always been Syd’s." -Kyler
Even though I loved Frigid it isn't my favorite J. Lynn / Jennifer L. Armentrout book. But I have never rated one of her books below four stars, and this book deserves 5 stars by far. Frigid will have your eyes glued to the page, it was addictive, and funny, and giving you all the feels. Frigid it my last J. Lynn book to read, I am caught up on all her YA and NA at this point. So until June, I have nothing else by her to read. *sad face*
