Thank you Harper Collins for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

After a catastrophic attempt to ask out his crush, fourteen-year-old Nelson is desperate for any chance to escape the daily humiliations of his small-town high school. And with his parents taking over a nearby ski lodge, that chance seems to have arrived. Up at the lodge he discovers a whole new freedom in a world where nobody knows he’s a loser and he can be whatever he wants.

But reinvention is complicated, especially when a few white lies land you in the middle of an unexpected love triangle which leads you to sign up for a ski race that you’re nowhere near good enough for.

As Nelson’s new world spirals out of control, he’ll slowly discover that no matter where you are, sometimes the hardest thing to run away from is yourself

Review:

This is one of those books, where you aren’t too sure if you loved it or not?

The start of the book give you the deceptively shallow, so you have this thought that this is going to be a typical YA novel that you have read a thousand times before. But then it takes a slight turn that reveals that it wasn’t that typical fluffy book you were originally expecting.

You meet Nelson, who ends up finding himself at the centre of a love triangle that is filled with frustrating, blunt and hilarious moments. While it wasn’t as fluffy as I originally thought, it was a great book that covers, identity, self-esteem and self-discovery and without all that fluff that YA usually has.

Though, I wanted a bit more of depth to this. I feel like the ending wrapped up way to quickly.

Rating: 3.5/5
