This was trying to be Carrie Soto but its uneven pacing and structure meant you could never properly engage with the story or care whether the characters triumphed personally or professionally. The main male character, in particular, was totally without personality. The ice skating element, while competently researched, just seemed to be the channel through which the relationships and melodramatic plot were delivered - I'd have liked more about what it's really like to compete at elite level. And where was Torvill and Dean?!
