3.0

This was not the book I thought I was going to be reading. I thought I was going to read and cute fun book about an ice hockey player being the impromptu skating partner for a figure skater. In reality that took up maybe 1/8 of the book at best. 
What I did get was a very dramatic book about the lives of very sexually active University students who are so hot and cold with their emotions through most of the book, not that that stops them from hooking up … a lot. So if you’re not into spice in a book, this book is not for you. 
It certainly wasn’t a bad story, but it felt like it skimmed over some plot points to focus more on the characters, and they’re evolving and changing relationships with themselves and those around them. I was excited to see more antics with a hockey player learning to figure skate, and so that part left me disappointed. I also feel like the opportunity to work through some side story relationship issues could have been better explored
