Jackson and Nate were high school sweethearts, together for years, until she wrecked in a ski race and Nate wasn't there - and didn't come back. Five years later, they are thrust together when Nate returns to the National Ski Team and Jackson is his physical therapist. They have to figure out if they can work together and put the past behind them.
This was a good book. I did NOT like Jackson though and I just couldn't get past her ridiculousness. It was such a real book with so much miscommunication (granted one of my least favorite tropes so that didn't help) that I almost didn't want them to end up together. Jackson's relationships with her friends was something special, but I hated that she barely listened to any of them. It was baffling to me how after everything, when they got back to Big Sky, she still refused to trust him and expected him to make all the sacrifice and moves and not her. She made no effort to be apart of Nate's life and future except in words. The chemistry between them was off the charts, but it didn't seem like Jackson really grew up and learned from anything as she got older. The ending was cute and only slightly satisfying.
