I throughly enjoyed this book. Every problem that I had with Weakside was fixed in this book. I really appreciated that it had more of a structured plot. Everything was executed in a enjoyable manner. I loved the tension build up. The angst was SO GOOD. I loved how the girls were constantly bonding and how involved Aasher’s teammates were in helping him. 

It’s funny because I didn’t realize how much I was enjoying myself until I was trying to stay up later to keep reading. Something about S. J.’s writing is so freakin addictive. 

I loved Riley and Aasher’s banter and how they were actively trying to get on the others nerves, but I truly fell in love with them during those skating lessons. In a book that’s quick and fun like this, having those emotional moments are everything. Seeing them being so in tune with each other, realizing each other’s potential and rooting for one another had me head over heels for them.
