Review:
I was excited to read this book about skating. Growing up I ice skated not even remotely good but it was something we did on the pond out back in the winter. I always watched the Olympics and wanting to be good at skating. I was not disappointed this was a very sweet and cute story.
The story starts with Emily just starting to train to skate as a partner with Chris. Their coach is Russian and his name is Sergei. The love story is between Emily and Sergei her coach. They must hide their love affair as it is not thought highly of a coach and skater to have a relationship.
What happens to Emily and Chris? Do they make it to the Olympics? What happens to Sergi and Emily? You will need to read and find out what happens.
I really liked the details on how the author went into detail on the details and the work that it takes to be an Olympic skater. I think anyone would enjoy Life on the Edge like I did.
Make sure to stop at some of these other stops on the tour and read more about Life on the Edge.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for hosting me on the tour!
