This was a really sweet story! Ace representation, lots of steamy scenes, and a very good performance from the narrator. Wrapped up kind of in a hurry though. I wish there had been more about Landon's personal growth (get him in therapy!!!)

Sortof 3rd act breakup
Dual POV
Casey/Landon
OH MY GOD. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. This was so cute! I was just smiling and "aw"ing most of the book. I really loved it.
The spice isn't, like, really kinky or anything, but very detailed/explicit, lol.
Casey and Landon are both so insanely awkward, and I love it.
Landon definitely reads as demisexual/on the asexual spectrum.
I absolutely loved this. 10/10.

<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.
