I loved this and I wish it was longer!
we follow fmc danny and mmc ryan. they come from completely different worlds and from the outside they couldn’t look more different. we go along as they find each other and fall in love after looking deeper than what’s on the outside.
alsoooo - hockey college romance?! there’s nothing better

I love words. It's one of the reasons I love to read. Yes, the stories, the worlds, the characters especially, mean a lot, but without at least a semi-decent prose, all that ain't gonna mean nothing. So you can imagine my disappointment when a book has all the wrong words. When you can see that the author has a good-ish idea (though not an original one) and has good thoughts, but phrases it all wrong. And here, the writing is unpracticed and the good-ish idea isn't that good.
The story is about two people from "opposite worlds". The guy is rich with snobby, usually absent, parents and bratty friends, while the girl is poor with no parents, two jobs, and medical bills to pay off.
Yup, it's a cliché. But clichés can work if they're done right. Here, the rich and poor representation is so stereotypical that it's clearly evident that the author has no real knowledge of either of the perspectives she's trying to pull off. There's an added sports thing (guy is a hockey player) that's nothing more than a Google search to help the stereotype along. It barely has any relevance to the story.
The romance is also bad. I'm not one to put a time stamp on love; I have no issue with two people falling in love in a weekend as long as the author can sell it. If it's written convincingly, I totally ship it. The relationship in this book isn't convincing at all. It's generic rich-boy-meets-poor-girl, where the guy is absolutely fascinated by the girl's strength, starts to see the world in a different way, blah blah blah... It's all very eye-roll inducing but I'd like to stress, once again, that if done right, this plot would be fine. Great, even. But... it wasn't. Hell, even the sex wasn't hot.
The characters were generic as well. Along with our stereotypical protagonists, we also got the bitchy ex who would do anything to get the guy back, a neglectful father who wasn't even in the book, and an evil mother who was obsessed with status and had about as much character and motive as the bitchy ex did. Which is to say, none at all.
Then the final third/quarter of the book happened and it was such a gigantic cringe-fest that the ending came as a relief.
Safe to say, I did not like this novel at all and I don't recommend it. The writing, while bad, was comprehensible. The book made me smile a couple of time and the beginning gave the illusion that it may be a good read, but that's all I can muster for positives. I'm not giving up on the author because for some reason I feel like she has potential. But this book was definitely a bust. Fingers crossed for the future reads.
This was okay.
Every storyline came out of a 1999 teen show. It was dated and I had a couple of eye rolling moments.
The characters were bland and there was nothing that grabbed my attention in this story.

I give this book 3.5 stars. I found it to be predictable, far fetched, and unrealistic.
Really like all the books in this series by Sawyer Bennett. Worth the read.
Hmm... I wasn't really feeling this, to be honest. It has decent writing and I liked the characters, but the insta love and insta everything was a bit of a turn off for me, and from the %66 mark I was just so not interested that I skimmed everything. :/
