It's a Love/Skate Relationship

Carli J. Corson

Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 3.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 3.5

A sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance between a hotheaded hockey player and the ice princess at the figure skating rink next door. Charlie Porter is a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the hockey rink. When she accidentally starts a brawl after a game, she’s suspended from school, meaning no hockey this season—and no chance to play in front of college scouts. Alexa Goldstein’s pairs skating partner was hurt in the fight, and with only four months until their next competition, pickings for a replacement are slim. So she strikes a deal with Charlie—skate with her at the competition well enough to place, and her Olympian mother will use her formidable connections to get Charlie in front of scouts at D-1 schools, even without her team. It seems impossible, and not just because Charlie has never figure skated before. Where Charlie is powerful, Alexa is elegant; where Charlie is quick to blow up, Alexa is cold as ice. But as the frostiness between them starts to thaw, they begin to wonder if they’ve found a partner for more than just skating.

    I forgot how cute YA stories can be, this was such a light and fun read! Loved seeing Charlie having to get used to a new environment and sport but also starting to actually like it and making new friends along the way, as well as her relationship with Alexa starting to blossom and become something more serious. My only complain is that at times the story felt a bit too cliche and predicable, which made the book a bit more dull to read. Sometimes it also felt like the story moved on a little too fast? And it could’ve been developed a little more.

    The third act conflict in this was wild and very much OTT but this was a pretty cute romance otherwise.
