Redge reviewed Take Me to the Winter Games by Julie L. Spencer
None
4 stars
This sweet YA sports romance is the first book by Julie L. Spencer I've read. I'm a sucker for a friends-to-more story, and Jordan and Lara drew me in right from the start. The dual POV worked well for me, I enjoyed seeing the story develop from both perspectives.
While the story touches on a sensitive subject like sexual assault and its implications, Julie L. Spencer finds a good balance in her descriptions, conveying the seriousness and the emotional impact without going into gory detail. Kudos!
And while this topic is far from lighthearted and fluffy, the story itself is not overly dramatic or dark. In fact, it made me smile quite a lot. (And that dance scene? LE SWOON)
Overall, I liked the story and was quite happy with how it was resolved.
(And now I'd love to read Gil's story, pretty please, with sprinkles on top. :) …
