A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Diana Coyle
I really enjoyed this skating story and felt the author did a remarkable job in describing the skating routines and everything having to do with the skating world with such perfection. I enjoyed getting to know her characters and I felt that she molded them into well-rounded people that her readers could relate to. Although having a relationship blossom between a student and coach is highly frowned upon, I did enjoy the relationship she created between Emily and Sergei. I’d highly recommend this story to other readers and I look forward to seeing what Ms. Comeaux’s next book might be about. Well done on your debut novel!
