Resumen del Editor

After dedicating her entire life to figure skating, Rei Mitchell-Nagasaki is ready for a little bit of normal. And what's more normal than attending college?

Zane West has had a rough life, but he's found his way out of Ashton Heights and he isn't about to lose it all when the demons of his past come knocking at the door.

Rei has one semester to show her father that she can have it all—a normal life and making it to the Winter Games—but it's not so easy when there is a broody hockey player standing in her way. Once heated arguments turn into sharing the rink and late-night kisses, neither of them will be able to resist the pull.

Will they manage to defy the odds or was their love doomed from the very beginning?

Contains mature themes.

Grade A for me

The book is good, I enjoyed the flow of the book. I do think that your past can cause you to be harder on yourself, than you should. I agree with that. I think that the love was there and it was a good all around book.
+++SPOILERS+++
I have a few issues, but nothing to stop me from recommending this book. The biggest one though is how Zayne didn't want to forgive his grandma for what she did. I really think that is selfish on his part. No matter what you forgive that woman because she still raised you to be a great person. Plus you don't lose love for your natural son just because he is a screwup. Another issue is Zayne saying he wanted his moms to go, but kept giving her money. It would have been better for if Zayne hated her, but some part of him loved her bc that was his mom.
I like some of the issues that come up in black communities especially if they came from a bad area. African Americans tend to think that they are less because that is what society or the media believes of them. If you continue to look passed the media/terrible society you will see actual people trying to understand the person not the just race or area you come from. stop putting yourself in a box. This book shows that so thanks for including it. Sometimes it is your own self holding you back, and that is regardless of race or privilege.
Good book, Check it out

meh

the story was ok..but I didn't care for the female narrator. Her voice was tolerable but she sounded like a child when she would do her male voice and the supporting characters

Cringy Russian accent

It was hard to listen to the female narrator do a Russian accent. Narration was ok beside those parts.
