It Figures by Melody Tyden
5.0
The blurb of this book definitely caught my attention. I love a little intrigue with my stories.
Amelia was a figure skater who is now a college student. She is starting over new looks, new name, and praying she isn't recognized. Oh, surprise, she gets a feature article on her old skating partner. As she does the interview and spends time with Austin, she gets many flashbacks, but one is very emotional. I wonder why she doesn't ice skate anymore? That answer comes eventually, and wow, does it bring out the emotions. This book is full of unexpected history. Austin does figure out who she is, and I wonder how this story will end.
I'm not disappointed, although this story has a lot of emotions involved in it. It also had heart, intriguing plot twists, and unexpected revelations. I love the way the author provided the reader's history and emotional reading with her characters. This story felt like it could have been a re-telling of real life. Her personality came alive in the process as you read and get to know Amelia. Although the story was focused on Amelia, it did jump back and forth to Austin's perspective. This story is a much about the past as it is the present. The author did a fantastic job of incorporating both current and previous drama into the account.
I almost felt like there was a ton of life lessons in this story. The way the characters adapted to situations out of their control and handled past revelations sent us readers on emotional tailspins. I love how the book ended with some closure, at least to the past for this story. It seems that the next book will be focused on the future. I'm excited to read more about these characters and see what comes of their attraction.
