 What I Thought... 
 * The Cutting Edge is one of my all time favorite movies. I love figure skating and romance so it sounds like the perfect win, unfortunately The Boy Next Door and I were not a perfect match. 
 * I really did love the figure skating aspect of The Boy Next Door. 
 * Maddy was alright except for the over the top swooning of Gabe, her skating partner. I didn't understand her attraction to Gabe at all. He was a total jerk to pretty much everyone. I didn't like him at all. 
 * I did not ship this romance. At all. The romance at the end was way too much, even for me. (view spoiler)[ 
 Gabe decided that it would be a good idea to have a fake wedding. They had sex for the first time that night. And there was a promise ring at the end too. It was all just way too much. 
 (hide spoiler)] 
 * The storyline with Maddy's parents and what was happening with her dad was infinitely more interesting than the main storyline of the book. This is a problem. 
 Overall The Boy Next Door just wasn't for me.
