Read this and wished I hadn't

This past week I decided to make a sort of table of contents for my kindle.  There are so many books on there that I have no idea what I have and what I don't.  How am I supposed to read it if I don't know it's there?  Anyway, I found a book Cinderella in Skates by Carly Syms that I didn't even know that I owned.  I love ice skating, so I figured why not?  

I will tell you why I wish I had skipped this book: (SPOILER alert below - do NOT read this review if you plan on reading this book)

Shane - the main love interest guy was a JERK.  I don't think he should have been a redeemable character after about the fifteenth chapter.  Seriously.

There was a girl who was a girlfriend of a teammate and she obviously had a thing for Shane.  It built it up in one chapter, but never even mentioned her again?  That was weird.

BUT the worst part?  Natalie (the main character) finally gets some ice time, crumbles under the pressure and her recent heartbreak and the dad's reaction?  HORRIBLE.  Seriously WHO says that to their kid?  

This could have been a cute story, but the relationship dynamics killed it for me.  Wish I could get the time back I wasted reading this.
