\u201cThe thing is, when pushing your limits is all you know, when it seems normal to you\u2026it\u2019s hard to remember you even have limits. Until you run right into them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family\u2019s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating, and each other, to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and rollercoaster relationship. Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end. As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the \u201creal story\u201d through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary. But she can\u2019t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy either. So, after a decade of silence, she\u2019s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been such a long time since a book has consumed like this, I actually was speechless because I was so obsessed with this story and how the events were taking place, the way the story was crafted and executed was so well done, and there were so many twists that would leave you gasping till the very end like I was practically begging for happiness and peace but ahahahahah I hate you Layne.\u00a0This was my first book by Layne Fargo and it was soo good that I had to put her immediately on my auto-buyers shelves!! This was so scandalous and toxic but also so beautiful and addicting. \u00a0Layne managed to capture the beauty and dangers of the sport so beautifully, the competitiveness was also so well written and ufff the way my heart would be full on racing like I was at the edge of my seat for some scenes because they got so intense and the drama, it was\u00a0SO DAMN GOOD!!\u00a0<\/strong>. The interviews that were moving alongside the story was such an interesting way to keep the readers hooked because it created this sense of mystery where you would just want to know more and the main characters were not in the interview so you had no idea where this story would go or what would happen and I loved that feeling so much!!<\/p>\n

HUGE five stars for this novel! Overall, you guys need to read this book!! GO READ IT! Scandalous, stimulating, thrilling, addictive, this book is the true definition of obsession! You don\u2019t want it to end and just want to spend more time in the wild ride madness of Kat and Heath.<\/p>\n
