“Warning: Contains family expectations, delightful banter, great romantic tension, skating (all kinds!), Korean pastries, and all the feels.
Fifteen-year-old, biracial figure skater Olivia Kennedy’s Olympic dreams have ended. She's bitter, but enjoying life as a regular teenager instead of an athlete... until Jonah Choi starts training at her family's struggling rink. Jonah's driven, talented, going for the Olympics in speed skating, completely annoying… and totally gorgeous. Between teasing Jonah, helping her best friend try out for roller derby, figuring out life as a normal teen and keeping the family business running, Olivia's got her hands full. But will rivalry bring her closer to Jonah, or drive them apart?” - taken from Goodreads.com
This story reminded me of one of my favorite movies, The Cutting Edge but with several different twists. Olivia Kennedy's parents are Olympic gold medalist ice skating champions. Her own Olympic dreams have recently gone up in flames. She and her mother are struggling to keep their own ice rink afloat when Jonah Choi and his father walk through the doors. A speed skating Olympic hopeful, Jonah's rental is much-needed income for the rink. But soon sparks fly between Olivia and Jonah as they grow closer to each other and support each other's Olympic dreams.
