They were attractive, shallow New Adult caricatures. Oh, yes, I said the f-word! Did you hear it! Fuck, I’m so cool’. We’re above emotional sex – we just fuck.
These folks were AMAZINGLY crass for the majority of it and yes, it’s a crassness that permeates the book – and as a sometimes-crass person with no filter and a love of all four-letter-words, if I’m pointing this out you know how salty this is!Ĭaroline: It wasn’t just that it was crass, it was that it was so try-hard. Lisa: I have a very salty vocabulary and even I was shocked by how many fucks-a-minute the book provided. Anastasia’s roommate: “Since my bedroom is next to Stassie’s and I’m going to be listening to your grunting and balls slapping all night…” Or in the Uber, where the driver can hear: “I hate you.” “Like how you hated Hawkins when you came all over his face?” The dialogue is aggressively ‘look how cool we all are about the sex we’re all having’. They made jokes that were mean and unfunny, as if they were constantly posturing for a sitcom laughter track I couldn’t hear. Hero, heroine, supporting – they were just awful. There were a lot of positives in this book – specifically towards the last quarter – but the majority of the book just didn’t ring true.Ĭaroline: At the beginning of this book, I genuinely disliked every character. Lisa: I’m of a similarly divided mind on this one myself. Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn’t worried… because she could never like a hockey player, right?ĪAR’s Caroline and Lisa both read this TikTok sensation and are here to share their thoughts.Ĭaroline: I’m glad you could do a Pandora’s Box review with me on this book because I was so divided on it that I could practically have done a PB with myself! Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team-including Anastasia, who clearly can’t stand him.īut when Anastasia’s skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot. Nate’s focus as team captain is on keeping his team on the ice. Nothing will stand in her way, not even the captain of the hockey team, Nate Hawkins. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team.
Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.
