When she was a teenager, elite ballerina Allie and her younger sister were saved from drowning by aspiring rescue diver Hudson, sparking a friendship that burned brightly for two summers before the death of Allie's eldest sister drove a wedge between them for more than a decade. Now Allie is back in Hudson's small hometown, recuperating after an injury that she hopes won't end her career. While she'd love to stay as far from Hudson as possible, a revelation about Allie's sister and Hudson's niece pushes them together again, causing the romantic spars that never caught before to suddenly flare up. But will their two high-stress careers, as well as their own past, allow them to be together?
Having read a couple of Yarros' romantasy books, I was intrigued to try something of hers without dragons. And while this was a compelling, quick read with complex characters, a few things regarding the main characters' family members (particularly Hudson's siblings and Allie's mom) hit me as a bit questionable. I don't want to go into more detail here, as it is a decent read and I don't want to give anything away (I particularly enjoyed the ballet insights), but I will say that I felt like some of these things could've been handled with more care and honesty between the characters.
