I saw a really negative review for this one, so that turned me off. Sounds like I wouldn't enjoy the relationship story between Maddy and Gabe.

I liked Maddy quite a bit, but Gabe was frustrating for me through much of the book. I understood why he thought what he did, but eventually I just wanted them to use their words and tell each other how they were feeling. Communication is a good thing ;-) Still the ice skating aspect was really cute, I thoroughly enjoyed it!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
