7th grade? I don’t know, it did not seem realistic to me. The romance was all based off of a shamble of a 7th grade relationship. The only reason they did not get together sooner was because they were being dumb.ģ. This relationship was majorly bi-polar, and I started to get really annoyed. They would not talk for a while, and then they would reconcile… have another sweet convo/make-out session, and then get REALLY mad and storm off again. Hayden and Nick would have an intimate conversation and a little romance, and then all of a sudden one of them would say something the other one did not like, a major emotional explosion would happen, and someone would storm off and slam doors. There was so much needless drama in this story. I felt they were all rather one-dimensional and forgettable.Ģ. They made me giggle a little inside, but that was it. The characters are likeable and sweet in their own ways. It was light-hearted, fluffy, and fun, but left me wishing I had been given more details and character development. The Ex Games jumped out at me, because I have never read a snowboarding book. In honor of the first snowfall of the season here, I thought it would be fun to read a book with lots of winter and lots of snow. This friendly competition is bound to get heated-and they might end up igniting some old flames. Their mutual friends quickly take sides, the girls on Hayden's and the boys on Nick's, making for an all-out battle of the sexes. Hayden calls Nick's bluff and challenges him to a head-to-head boarding contest. When Hayden wins the girls' division of a local snowboarding competition, Nick is unimpressed, claiming that Hayden wouldn't have a chance against a guy. Now the two are 'just friends,' excluding the occasional flirtation. Hayden and Nick used to be a hot item, but their brief affair ended with a highly publicized breakup.
