Stassie and Nate are so personal to me and I love them so much. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy this bc of how hyped this book was on TikTok and that can go either way. But this one was truly amazing.
Also Kiss Me by Sixpence being their song was just too cute and I’ll associate that song with them now. Also also, I’m glad Nate got his lick back with Aaron— I know Henry was proud of him when he found out lol.
Also x3, I really enjoyed the spice scenes. Stas’ teasing nature in her and Nate’s dynamic was my favorite, and Nate always gave as good as he got. Both in and outside the bedroom. Which was another thing I loved about the main characters— they felt equally coupled, like it made sense they would be together.
And critiques of Stas being “mean” fell flat for me, she wasn’t a mean girl, she’s a woman with a lot on her plate, dealing with college shit and falling in love fast, her responses felt understandable.

So yeah. Clearly not the book for me. If you liked it, good for you! It has some merit. But I don't think it deserves the five stars that people are giving it.
I also hated how
Spoiler
Stassie kept being adamant about how she wasn't going to be one of those figure skaters than gets pregnant, career fizzles out and has to rely on someone else. She got pissed when anyone so much as assumed that that was in her future. And then, guess what? This happens in the epilogue.Graphic: Cursing and Sexual content
