El libro es muy bueno, pero la verdad es que es más de lo mismo. Los primeros capítulos me los leí rapidísimo, sin embargo como por la mitad se me hizo muy meloso y predecible. Pero es un buen libro para pasar el rato :)
Mi calificación es 4.5, pero como no se le puede poner así, lo redondeo a 5.0 XD

emotional tense

Not my favorite book from this author, but it was an easy, predictable love story to start off the year. The over the top, oblivious to each other’s feelings made some parts of the story hard to keep reading. But if you like cute HEA books, this is still a good choice!

I feel really bad for saying this but this was kind of a big bore. Sydney and Kyler were okay but I never connected with either of them or cared about what happened to them. I skimmed through a lot and I really would have given up at twelve percent if this was not written by an author I respect. But it's because I respect her that I'm giving such an honest review. I feel like Frigid was written just to be written. It felt like there wasnt a lot of thought put into it or work. It was kind of 2D, it didn't jump out and grab me. I couldn't even get into the steaminess. I dont understand why Kyler had to be told so many times for him to get that Syd loved him. It was like he wanted to doubt it. Syd had no confidence in herself and that was understandable if it was with any other guy but the one guy she knew best. I dont know, it just bothered me. Sadly, I didn't enjoy this one but maybe I can get into the next.

Frigid by J. Lynn aka Jennifer Armentrout had everything you would expect from a New Adult novel: romance, drama and general cuteness. And maybe that was the problem.

Sydney has been in love with her best friend Kyler since she was a kid. And as they grew up together, she's watched him choose other girls over and over again. So she loves him from afar, even though she knows he will never return her feelings.

Now, it's the winter break before their senior year of college, and Kyler and Sydney and some of their closest friends are headed to Kyler's cabin for a five day ski resort trip. But several hours after their arrival, a snowstorm blows through, stranding their friends and forcing the two of them to be alone in this house together. Sydney, more than ever, can't seem to hide her emotions anymore. But is she willing to risk her friendship? And could it be possible that Kyler has loved her all along?

New Adult novels are predictable. It's part of their charm and really, just a part of the genre as a whole. You know the two main characters will end up together. But it's the way they fall together that makes or breaks the novel. And while I really enjoyed how Kyler and Sydney got together, it was a little dramatic--maybe even a tad unrealistic. However, there was something about this book that just made me not like it as much as some.

And that something, I'm 99% sure, was the drama. While they are in this cabin, which already has enough drama on its own, these mysterious and dangerous things begin to happen. Sydney almost gets run over by a snowmobile, someone shoots out one of their windows, and someone cuts their power. This drama just felt really unnecessary. And yeah, in the end, it did have a point in the plot progression, but the plot would have been just fine without it. It was too much and it took me out of the story.

Also, what has made many New Adult novels for me in the past, was the writing. And Jennifer L. Armentrout, though awesome, her writing isn't amazing. It's fine, mediocre, and perfect for most of her stories, but not incredible.

In the end, Frigid was a fine, but definitely doesn't make it to my favorites list.

Very cute, and as always loce jla writing style

3,5

Disfrute mucho la lectura, la verdad es que se me fue como Agua. Sin embargo la historia está llena de clichés que se vuelve una historia de romance común. Los personajes están muy bien idealizados y estructurados.
