My Review: 3 Stars
Claudia is a former prima ballerina who is producing a show about her ballet years. When different complications arise with the show, she goes back to her hometown, to her roots, to try and dig up some childhood material and runs into her old buddy, Reid, who is a former hockey player. The small town of Wintervale brought these two together in the past and brings them together in the present, even with all the drama that seems to have followed Claudia.
This story is a sweet and gentle tale, heavy with the small town feels, but light on character depth. I would have loved to dig deeper into the thoughts and feelings of these two flawed characters. While Claudia fled town and seemed to thrive in the city life and limelight, Reid seems content to settle down into the familiarity of his past. Although these characters seem opposite in many ways, they do have the bond of childhood friendship and young crushes to forge their future together.
This is a great story for those who love a clean romance with an uncomplicated flow, simple characters, and a pleasant plot.
