Fake Skating

De: Lynn Painter

Narrado por: Aidan Bissett, Saylor Bell Curda

A New York Times bestseller!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies Lynn Painter comes a heartfelt and banter-filled rom-com about childhood sweethearts whose icy reunion in their hockey-loving hometown unexpectedly thaws when they fake a romantic relationship.

Growing up, Dani couldn’t help but follow around the adorable son of her mom’s best friend. Funny, kind of nerdy, and a little soft, Alec was always down to hang with Dani when they were little. From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable. Until Dani moved away. Alec promised they’d stay in touch—except, they didn’t.

Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather. Dealing with the fallout of her parents’ devastating divorce, Dani wouldn’t mind a nerd-out with the cozy and comforting Alec (and maybe a chance to confront him on his MIA status for all these years). But teenage Alec is nothing like the kid Dani remembers. He’s a hockey star in a town where hockey players are worshiped as gods. Dani’s place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fans…and he loves it.

Dani is resolved to ice out her former best friend until an unlikely series of events brings them together—and forces them to fake being a couple. Once forced together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearth complicated family secrets, and face their true feelings towards each other…including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.

Loved everything about this book! Amazing narrators, excellent story and wonderful character development! Lets just say this book is a great read at any age... I'm many years away from high school and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend!

Loved this childhood friends to enemies to lovers

The storyline was great and I loved the backstory of the parents. The dad realizing his wrong was a little far fetched for me, maybe just my experience I’m happy for Dani though. Another thing I loved was the voice of Dani! This voice actor is so good I looked up more of the completed work with her voice.
