I also couldn't help but sympathize with her conflicting feelings and confusion as I remembered the romances of my own youth. In fact, I liked that Kate took the time to carefully consider a relationship and ended up making a wise and admirable choice in the end. She does a great deal of thinking about whether he's really worth pursuing, as well as pondering what she really feels for Joe. Once I realized that Kate's huge crush, Brad, her brother's roommate, is a player who can also be a bit of a jerk, it could have been easy to want Kate to just get over him and open her eyes to Joe, the other, better guy right in front of her, but in my opinion, her being stuck on Brad was never overdone. She harbors some mild self-confidence issues and teen angst. She seemed like a pretty typical girl in her late teens. Needless to say everyone finds someone to romance during a fun-filled winter break. High school senior, Kate, the main protagonist and first-person narrator of the story, takes her two best friends to a ski resort to stay in a condo owned by her aunt, where they are unexpectedly joined by her college freshman brother and his two friends. Love on the Lifts is a sweet, young-adult romance that celebrates the wonder of first loves.
