Almost from the start, this book had me. It hits some pretty funny moments pretty that had me laughing out loud.Z has a past that haunts him all the time, a past he wishes he could forget and get away from, but he can't. Its always there and it makes him not care about pretty much everything. He drinks, he parties, he's a man-whore. He doesn't really care. Until the day he meets Ophelia, and for some unknown reason he seems to care.Ophelia also has a past that haunts her, it never seems to leave her thoughts. She is doing the best she can to move on and forget, so she can live and get past it. Ophelia's past has to do with adrenaline junkies and riding along with that high. So when she meets Z she knows what he is all about. But she can also that there is more, so much more that he hides from himself, his friends and the world around him. He lives for the adrenaline and she isn't sure if she can live with that again.Little do they both know, until later, that in order to get past their pasts, move on, be happy and live... they need each other to do that.This book was great. I don't know much about snowboarding, but I do actually live in Utah, so to read a book that takes place in a city that I am aware of, was fun. I can't until until the next book comes out. This book has an epilogue with a happy ending for Z and Ophelia, however I much warn you, it does end with a bit of a duzzy which leads off to what the next book will be about. So be prepared for it at the end. It's not a cliffhanger, just the start of the next book and what is to come to the next friend in this close circle with Z and his friends.*a copy of this book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
