2.5-3 starsSo I'm on the fence a bit about this one. I was looking forward to reading Shredded and was quite happy to have actually received an ARC!Unfortunately it fell a little flat for my taste.I liked the premise of the story... talented yet troubled pro-snowboarder falls for new girl in town who's secretly troubled herself... unfortunately it was just ok for me.It was an easy, quick read with more of a mature YA feel to it.He's a reckless bad boy who turns out to be not so bad after all, and she's... well, I'm not sure what she is. Maybe my lack of connection with Ophelia is one of the reasons this book was just ok for me.I did enjoy the supporting characters. Z's friends Cam, Ash and Luc seemed real and I can see potential for other story lines and books down the line with them. I thought Z's story was sad and liked how he looked out for Ophelia because of his past.*I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
