Joshua Jackson (Pacey!!!!!! 😍) reads the male PoV of the audiobook and it is glorious. GLO-RI-OUS! Such a cute romance. A hockey player and former ballerina - I liked that storyline very much seeing them get over their own individual issues and come together. It also made me want to go camping to see the Northern Lights and I am totally a hotel girl! 

Here’s my vote for Joshua Jackson to narrate more audiobooks 🙋🏻‍♀️

Cute, mildly spicy and heartwarming story of finding love again and learning to love yourself. 

Although I’ve never heard someone my age *actually* refer to themselves as a hoser, multiple times. May wanna recheck your Canadianisms on that one. But other than that the Canadiana was pretty well done, eh?

Closed Door Mod: Chapter 15 (some parts) 

Canadian Boyfriend is a hockey-adjacent romance about a woman who accidently runs into the man she made up to be her boyfriend in high school and agrees to nanny his tween daughter. 

With more emotional depth and complex themes compared to some hockey romances currently on the market, I felt that Holiday was able to capture those themes into Rory and Mike’s respective backstories. Adding a core group of supporting characters to round out the two MCs, Holiday’s writing style was alright (other than inconsistent pacing when you get to the second half of the book) and the plot in it of itself was a bit more than decent. However, I felt that this book was just okay, plain and simple. There was nothing there for me to cherish this book and make it a new favorite. Do I think this book could wow some reader out there? Yes, I do. I just don’t think this book was for me, but I didn’t had a terrible time with it.
