Ma'am, this is one atrocious writing style we have here. Between the "I blinked. He blinked back" repeated 587890 times, the author's obvious aversion to using names or pronouns instead of periphrasis, the humor that couldn't make me crack a smile... It was a laborious read. The only way the author thought of giving information about the characters was through periphrasis.

I did like Jasmine though. She's kind of unlikeable in people's eyes because of her bluntness and defensive nature. She's not really the forgiving type and she doesn't take shit from people. I could 100% relate to her. However, apart from that, her monologues were annoying: she can't make a decision without thinking this [...] but then this [...] and this [...] but this [...]. Like, go to the damn point. I beg you.

Ivan was interesting at first but he quickly lost his shine. Everything went downhill from the Spring Season point. The characters started to banter, being nice to each other, when just before they were enemies. Something was missing between these two parts. You know, development. It's as if the author didn't want to explain the hows and the whys, and wanted to write the best parts already (which were not the best imo). Also, the author hinted at scenes that never came to fruition. What was the point?

Honestly, I couldn't even see them as a couple. Like I said, the banter was bad. They laughed out loud at jokes that weren't funny. And even then, you don't really have a romance until the end of the book. I expected better. Something sweet. Some Longing.

I liked the ice skating best. It's beautiful and graceful.
