What a ride! This book was written so beautifully. Love how the author integrated skating terms into the book itself. I actually went and watch quite a few Olympics figure skating pairs videos in order to understand the terms in it. But let me just say, it was worth it. This book isn't just about romance between the two childhood friends, it is so much more. It is about knowing yourself. It is about standing up after falling. It is about chasing after your dreams. Most of all, it is about believing in yourself. 
 Hand in hand, we head for the kiss and cry. Today, we're going to kiss. Sometimes, we'll cry. There'll be broken tree branches. Misunderstandings and crash landings. It turns out all relationships are like Axels. They take a leap of faith and they have their ups and downs. 
 But it's not about falling, it's about what you do after the fall. Whatever happens, we'll pick ourselves u. Brush ourselves off. And circle around for another attempt.
