Hudson used to be an ice skater with Olympic
dreams, and she used to have a dad who helped her with those dreams, but then
her dad cheated on her mom and Hudson gave up her dreams of ice skating. Now she helps her mom at the family diner by
making cupcakes. She receives an
invitation to participate in an ice skating competition for a college
scholarship and she decides that she wants to get back into skating. While skating at the lake, she runs into the
co-captain of the hokey team, Josh. Josh
tells Hudson that if she helps the team improve then he will get her ice time
on a real rink. Hudson soon finds
herself with too many things going on in her life and she is letting down the
people that she loves.
This is a good
book about following your dreams, but also loving where you are in life. Hudson learns important lessons about trusting
her friends and family. The romance
makes the story sweeter, but at times Hudson’s lack of communication can be
really frustrating.
