NPR: “There’s ‘Every Reason’ To Read This Charming Love Story On Ice”

I have a new fabulous new YA book review, live at NPR!

I’m not sure I know anyone around my age who doesn’t have a special place in their heart for the 1992 film The Cutting Edge, where a spoiled figure skater is forced to team up with a smarmy injured hockey player and sparks fly.
