Frigid
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
“I was Kyler’s best friend. And because of that, he would never love me the way I loved him.”
Sydney has been in love with her best friend Kyler for what feels like forever. Sydney has loved Kyler ever since he pushed her down on the play ground when they were children, but over the years she has had to watch him with an endless parade of girls. Because of this Sydney has resigned herself to the best friend role and tried to push her feelings for him down because while everyone else can see how she feels, Kyler doesn’t. So what happens when they get snowed in alone together on ski trip? They’ve been alone together before, but this time is different. This time, they can’t ignore the attraction between the two of them. But what will happen to their friendship if they take that next step? And more importantly, will they even make it out of the trip alive? Because it seems like someone is hell bent on hurting them.
Sydney is such a great character and the fact that she spent years watching Kyler’s parade of girls and never became bitter or jaded with her love, makes her emotionally stronger that most people could ever be. Jen usually writes heroines in a kick ass way that is physical, so it was a nice change of pace to see it in an emotional sense. She does have some insecurities that are due to her last boyfriend screwing her over, which is understandable. However, those insecurities cause her to overanalyze most things which invariably leads to some problems. But you know what? That makes for a good story, because I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to read a book that has no conflict because real life isn’t that way.
Kyler may be a giant player and absolutely oblivious to Sydney’s feelings for him but he has always loved her. He also feels like she is too good for him and has put her on a pedestal their entire lives, which is why he is the only one that can’t see she’s in love him. He’s very protective of Sydney and would do absolutely anything to keep her from getting hurt which makes my heart all kinds of happy. Kyler is kind of perfect in an imperfect way. He has his flaws but he is an inherently sweet and kind guy and his love for Sydney makes my insides feel all gushy.
The storyline itself is nothing I haven’t read before but I love Jen’s writing so that didn’t matter. As usual with a JLA book, I was sucked in from the beginning and stayed that way until I was finished. I always get fully invested with her characters and will honestly recommend any book that she writes. So if you’re in the mood for a quick friends to lovers contemporary romance, I suggest checking this book out for yourself.
“I knew that moment, while we stood outside the science building on campus, that I loved her. Not in the best-friend kind of way. Not in the almost-like-a-little-sister kind of way. I loved her in a way that transcended those things. And I was in love with her.”
