<b>Nice</b>
- <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/guys-on-the-side-looking-beyond-gay-tops-and-bottoms_b_3082484>side</a> rep . also v sexy
- tender, sweet, the normal romance novel appeals
<b>Negative</b>
- made me think too much about my own heartbreak and how mine cannot be resolved this way.
-lack of diversity. (Typical for the hockey fiction genre.)
<b>Audiobook stuff</b>. None of these are complaints!! Just me being xenophobic toward americans (in a way that is merely silly and completely unreasonable)
It is always a lil funny when an american audiobook narrator has to pronounce <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/tuque">toque.</a> For the unaware — it rhymes with duke. I also think it's interesting how a french canadian accent is done in a france french way as though it doesn't come from back further in the roof of your mouth. Very zee zat hon hon hon baguette and not very <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity">tabarnak</a> celine dion-y. <a href="https://youtu.be/2AKUqgy7UzY?si=C0eKTQRUt2PhyMRm">This Hour Has 22 Minutes has some sketches of a parody of the accent</a>.
