This was so good. I remember wanting to know all about the quiet Russ from Icebreaker. I really enjoyed seeing all the past characters. Russ and Aurora meet at a fareerll party for the hockey players graduating. They hit it off even though Russ isn't very confident in himself and thinks that she is waay out of his league. However, they have a ONS and then Aurora sneaks out. They never thought they see each other again, but they both turn up as counselors at a summer camp. 

They are both dealing with father issues that have taken a toll on who they are as a person. Russ doesn't believe in himself very much and Rory uses others to deem her worth by the attention she receives. It was very satisfying to see them both work through these issues alone and together. To see the growth it took to get the words that had weathered them down to no longer have a piece of them. 

Russ and Aurora were cute together. I liked his quiet and her loud, they both brought each other out of their comfort zones. I was so happy with their ability to communicate through their problems at the end.

P.S. I did also like that Russ' dad got help and was doing so good at the end.
