This makes me want to read more roller skating related books. If I can hunt some down. I liked 3/5 stories so that’s why it’s 3/5 stars. But it was all really cute.

Estás mini historias fueron muy tiernas y me hubiera encantado que leer novelas completas de algunas de ellas (sobre todo las sáficas). Sin embargo, siento que no lo leí en un momento donde buscaba leer mini historias, me tardé en terminarlo a pesar de ser un libro muy corto, y como dije me hubiera encantado leer algunas de ellas como novelas auto conclusivas, lástima que no pudo ser así porque tenían mucho potencial y eso me desanimo la lectura.

Aún así, me parece una gran recopilación si lo que se busca leer son mini historias de romance con temática universitaria.

very cute collection of short stories about various members of a roller derby team falling in love (and in one case, falling back in love ;)).

all of the stories were incredibly diverse and relatable. i wish they were all a little longer considering this book had five short stories and was only 83 pages. but i understand that the purpose of short stories is to be ~short~

This was a cute collection of budding romance stories. Each chapter focused on a different woman from the roller derby team. I thought that was a creative connection to weave throughout the book. I appreciated the closed door romance trope. There wasn’t much more than kissing on the page. Sometimes I prefer that. Each story had a sweet ending. The final story in this installment was silly to me, but it ended well. This is was a nice way to close out my month of reading.
