Skater Boy was my first read my Mary Catherine Gedhard and I was really impressed by this first installment in the Patchwork House Series. The concept of the skating world was appealing and refreshing to me and had me really excited. It took me a few chapters to enter the story, but I was soon fascinated by its interesting characters. This romance is a very slow burn and kept me on my toes all read long, anticipating Tweetie and Flip’s feelings to finally grow into more!
The connection between this couple is powerful and very special from their first interaction. Flip is a cocky hero with the most beautiful heart. Throughout the story, we gradually discover their common past and the events that led them to lose contact. Flip is truly devoted to Tweetie and is swoon-worthy. Tweetie is a sweet girl with big dreams. She can appear shy and unsure by moments, but she also shows strength, drive and defiance when it’s necessary.
The whole intrigue of this book was exciting and kept me guessing. This group of misfits are all connected by this same feeling of not belonging, but together they really created their own world at Patchwork House. I loved the sense of family between the Rebel Gods and Tweetie.
This novel was a beautiful surprise that I enjoyed a lot. However, there were little details in the storyline that didn’t make sense for me, because they weren’t explored enough maybe and it’s the reason I couldn’t rate it higher. Otherwise, Skater Boy was a mesmerizing read! Now, I just can’t wait to get the stories about King, Daniel and Romeo!
