So fun!!! I was so entertained!! I want to be an ice dancer now!! I really liked Kat and Heaths story and the sheer level of drama with literally every single thing that happened to them. It truly was such a whirlwind. 

The documentary/interview style reminded me a bit of Daisy Jones and the Six and I enjoyed that book a lot too! 

It was really cool to see the development of the characters throughout the book and see each of them mature and grow together and apart and really show their love for each other. 

I would like a Heath POV, but I get why it has to be that way. 

I will say, I’m glad for how it ended but i really thought that Bella and heaths relationship was INFURIATING. that girl is NOT a girls girl. But like if you want to assign a villain to the story, it’s most likely Heath. Heath was holding Kat back from her potential bc he didn’t want to be there, jealous of all her friendships, and when she admitted it he abandoned her, then became her biggest competition, while still in love with her and causing tension around every interaction, proposes to her on the ice in front of EVERYONE in the world, pressures her about children, and then gets her best friend pregnant!? Sooo yeah he’s for sure the villain but I was very happy they ended up together and that he was able to be fulfilled in having a kid with Bella
