If you love figure skating, villains, intense competition, and couples who are both terrible and perfect for each other, you‘ll love this book. I tore through it in just a couple of days. I‘m actually surprised by how much I loved it since I hate its inspiration, Wuthering Heights. Even though that classic doesn‘t work for me, this modern take and the nods to the original were really fun.

Switching to fiction now that my hold for this anticipated read came in from the library. A little March Madness in the background

Seiji and Nicholas are getting so close... in their own special way. Really cute.

I'm very curious how/when the secret about Nicholas' father is going to come out to the others, and how he'll react.

I'm gonna be so mad when the story just *stops* at the end of next volume, aren't I.

Ugh, I couldn't resist it, I grabbed the next volume. I LOVED the scenes with Seiji helping Nicholas learn to hit the tennis ball, it was so unexpected and awkward and yet so perfect.

Also, Bobby continues to be adorable, and I love that nothing at all is said about his gender non-conforming.

Still predictable, still love the art, still enjoy these idiots.

And now I've run out of volumes on Kobo Plus and need more. Wailing, gnashing teeth, etc etc.

Basically carries straight on from volume 2, and continues the same themes/trajectory -- if volume 1 didn't work for you, nor will volume 2. Just as I said in the review of the first volume, it's predictable -- I think I know how things will end up.

I did find myself shipping Harvard and Aiden incredibly. I mean they're also good as best friends, and I love that for them too. The way Aiden drops everything for Harvard? Cute.

shanaqui NB: this is not to excuse Aiden's behaviour toward his hookups. Sheesh, he's awful. 4d

I read this before but never got chance to move on to the other volumes. They're in Kobo Plus, though, or some of them are, so that prompted me to get back to it... meaning I needed to reread this.

I like the art; reminds me a bit of Jamie McKelvie's style in the cleanness of the lines (I say, as if I have art critic skills/knowledge at all). Plot-wise, it's fairly predictable, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
