So I started this and then lost a lot of sleep to finish it. (Really nailing my New Year’s resolution no screens past 9 pm, thanks Bryce Oakley!). 

What really worked here is the way this friendship of 5 was portrayed. Even the secrets and slight toxicity. What worked less is the development of the romance, or lack thereof, which is fairly common in second-chance romances. Pete and Dani have great chemistry, but a lasting romance? Maybe. I hope so. But I can’t say for certain because I’m not sure how well they know each other. 

This has the potential to turn into a series, and I can’t say I’d be mad about that.

Danica Wendell and Petra “Pete” Pancott had a 'thing' in school, but a HUGE blowup at graduation ended it. Now 15 years later their friend group reunites for a ski holiday, and they have to confront their past.

A good, slow-ish burn romance. Both are interested in each other, but hesitant, and their matchmaking friends decide to encourage things. There is a third act breakup, but at least it's not due to a random stupid argument.
