I really liked this book, it was a fast and nice read. And even though I don't like when characters conceal something important from the other, I found the storyline good and not annoying. Their behaviour was very understandable and their relationship healthy. I also liked that the characters were diverse (in many aspects) (and it felt natural, not forced, just the way it should be).

This was such a lovely read. It was sweet and fluffy and so easy to lose yourself in. I just wanted to stay nestled within its pages and never leave.

Naomi and Finn were so cute/awkward/sweet together. They had me giggling so much! I loved that they bonded online before meeting in person. I also really liked the discussion around girls (especially black girls) having to present themselves in a certain way. I also really liked the way Finn’s injuries were handled, though I wish there was a little bit more there in regard to his PT/rink time/medication use.

Anyway! This was such a cozy, sweet read and I can’t wait to see where this series goes. Sunny Disposition is getting four stars from me! 😊

This was a cute book but there were a few plot points that I don't think were fleshed out. Was an easy and fun read. Definitely liked the more accurate body representation and that they are both tall.  

My frustrations/confusions are hidden in the spoiler as are not part of the blurb of the book and was a surprise where the story went:
 

The whole corrupt Sports Director thing would of been a good thing to follow but we dont even know what is going on with that?? Just simple hints. WTH. Also Wished we would of seen a lot more of Finn before the accident so we would know what the guys keep comparing to the "old Finn"

Taylor Swift songs: “I’m only me when I’m with you”, the FMC IS “tied together with a smile”

Age rating: 16+ (3 spicy chapters, 1.5/5🌶️) 

This was a sweet dual-POV hockey romance! This is one of the only acceptable grumpy X sunshine where the guy is grumpy.  Most of the time, when the guy is the grump, he is just mean/asshole, but that’s not the case here. He really is just shy and emotionally guarded and trying to figure out who he is after his memory loss. I will admit, at first I was not a fan of the whole amnesia plot, but it does grow on me and adds a lot of emotional depth to the story, especially regarding Finn’s character growth. At first I didn’t love that he was kind of aggressive and got in fights often, but we grow to understand and love him as the book goes on. I also liked the juxtaposition between his character and Naomi, who is literally the opposite. She is the definition of “tied together with a smile” by Taylor Swift. She tries so hard to be what other people want her to be that she neglects herself. While Finn doesn’t know what other people want him to be, because he can’t remember, so he restricts so much of himself and his personality for fear of being someone different than he was before his memory loss. I love how they both allow themselves to be their true selves around each other with no judgement. There is so much healing and growth in that, and it was so sweet and tender to see! They really were perfect for each other! And the fact that they fell in love on the game chat and again after his memory loss just cements how perfect they are for each other! It’s so precious! 

The FMC has dyslexia, we love neurodivergent rep! I also love how the MMC is not like perfectly chiseled, and that he carries a little more weight on him, while being muscular, like a muscle dad bod which we loveeeee!!!! Also tall girl rep!! They are both 6 feet tall! 

I wanted to read the second book in the interconnected series already, but especially now, because there is an important subplot that is not resolved in this book and I need to know what happens in that!! Like hello?? I have no peace!!
