I binged this one while traveling and it made for a great read. I guess I’m a sucker for star crossed lovers because these kinds of stories just pull me in. I learned a lot about ice dancing while reading this book. The story was styled as a documentary, and I enjoyed that but did feel like some of it was a little unnecessary. Saying things like, “I thought we were going to talk about what happened next..” made it a little cringy. 

But, the story captured my attention and I was thankful I had several uninterrupted hours to read it.
