Bittersweet - Sarah Ockler
After her parents split up, high school junior Hudson Avery left the competitive figure skating world for her own safe space: baking cupcakes for her mother’s diner… until a scholarship opportunity appears that’s too good to pass up. Then she meets Josh Blackthorn. Cute, sweet, hockey captain Josh. And the other good-looking co-captain of the varsity hockey team, Will Harper. Trading indoor rink time for coaching the failing hockey team seems like a good deal at first. But when things pile up, how will she balance skating, work, babysitting, and her best friend when hockey starts to take over her life? And how can she figure out Josh when he keeps sending mixed signals? Follow Hudson’s journey of discovery in this sweet, funny, romantic-y novel.
