Well damn.
This book simultaneously made me want to be an Olympic ice dancer and also never stop foot on an ice rink.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!


As for the romance, eh whatever. I didn't like Heath and I didn't care about their romantic relationship as much as their dancing partnership. But I was really into the whole journey to the Olympics and the daily grind of training.
The documentary style works so SO well and it's excellent for an audiobook.

Not sure if "Ellis Dean" was the best choice of name though, because at 1.75 speed, it sounded like "LSD" every time I heard it.


EDIT:
A friend of mine loathed this book and she made some really good points. 
Kat outs Garrett and she has no remorse, doesn't even apologize to him. 

And then there were two specific lines in the acknowledgments that were just icky:
One about how her husband "watched more figure skating than perhaps any man straight man alive"
The other gives a shout out to Cymbalta (I love that), but she said "because a depressed person could not have written this" (I don't love that)


I want to say once more that I really disliked the romance in this story but loved the skating.
