This is the first book I have read with ice skating drama. I personally do not skate and the only criticism I can make is it was hard to picture the events. Other than that it was a fun book.

This book has flat characters and every time there is a miscommunication issue resolved another one comes up. Nothing is dwelled on for long.

This book was very interesting. Just when you think you have a grasp of the world something new happens and changes that world.
