Stacey Evans wants only one thing: to be the best alpine ski racer she can be. Everything else—like her sweet and ultra-supportive best friend, and hot-but-vapid girlfriend—is just a bonus. Fresh from a medal at her first Olympics, Stacey knows she can only get better and is firmly focused on the future, and totally not thinking about how she’s kind of a little in love with that sweet, ultra-supportive best friend…
Gemma Archer has had a crush on Stacey from the moment she first saw her, but being her best friend is so amazing that she’s almost managed to push that crush aside. Almost. But even if Gemma finds the courage to tell Stacey how she really feels, there’s a mountain of obstacles to overcome—like the fact that Gemma’s stepmom is Stacey’s coach (awkward) and Gemma will be going away to college in a few months. And most importantly…what if admitting how she feels ruins the best friendship she’s ever had?
I will have forgotten this book in 3 days but had a great time reading it.
I do hope the author got paid by atomic. If not, maybe the sponsoring shtick could have been anonymized a bit, because that was A LOT. Also, I don’t think the story would have needed any major changes with 20 and 22yo characters, and it would maybe have made me cringe less on several occasions. This just didn’t feel like a high school romance.
HOWEVER. What a cute read! Skiing! Hot lesbians! Friends to lovers! This made me happy!!
