Unfortunately, I speak for myself when I say this story just did not do it for me as a romance, but did so much more as a self journey. I also think a lot of people will love this story for what it is - just like I have.
I really think a lot of people, like me will enjoy this. It was her story about learning to love herself as she was, forgiving and growing. I was expecting a chemical and passionate story about two people falling for each other, instead I got a fiery little cracker who at first was someone I thought I wouldn't get along with, but I grew to love Jasmine. "I could have been the bigger person, but fuck it, I was five foot three and I wasn’t built to be that person ever." Romance wasn't even an undertone until about the 70% mark. I mean, yes it had romantic elements to it, but this story was revolved around people finding themselves and developing and friendships and family and so so so much more.
I will go even farther and just put it out there. I would even go as far as saying that this was more than just a romance novel. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to one of the slowest slow burns in the history of slow burns. Not to say that this was not a fun read - because it was. This started off as a solid 4 star read for me, and it all went downhill from there. "If I can’t skate with you, I don’t want to skate with anyone else.”
