I had some trouble connecting with the main characters initially, and wasn't too motivated to pick it up again after pausing. Things definitely do pick up once Stasi and Nate get together, and I thought their relationship was sweet. I did get annoyed with how blasé the figure skating coach was towards Aaron's initial meanness towards Stasi
which then turned into assault, which I felt she was not the appropriate amount of horrified and while I get that it's supposed to show the perspective of a very ambitious team of skaters, that's still pretty fucked up that the coach witnessed it and basically said you need to suck it up buttercup and we'll deal with this later
. Overall, I did still enjoy this and it got me out of a mini-slump, and I'm looking forward to Book 3 that will come out this Summer. I thought the audiobook by Elizabeth Louise and Tim Paige was good.
