??????? Wtf was that???
This book is so long and on top of that so badly paced I fully thought it was over only to find out there was like 15% left. And so much shit happens, that of course it ends up feeling rushed. The 500+ pages book!!! Felt rushed!!
I hated the guy pretty much immediately and he never grew on me, weird side plots about race and police (completely separate mind you!) and unrealistic cancer depiction.
I will say, I kind of like how this author writes (some!!) of her more humorous side plots, I laughed, kind of despite my best intentions.
I will not deign the absolutely atrocious DV plotpoint with any more comment than that.

I had high hopes for this one cause the first in the series was my fav Elle Kennedy book cause it was the most interesting and emotional and actually included character development and a plot but this was not up to par, it was fine definitely check TW but I mostly just read this for fun cause they are addictive(like trashy kind of addictive) but this wasn’t even that addictive I definitely considered DNFing it.

Shane Lindley is a hockey god and kind of a fuckboy … at least in the eyes of Diana Dixon. She is the cheer captain, dislikes Shane and keeps telling her teammates about it. As a result she is very annoyed when Shane moves in next to her. She tries to make his life miserable but it doesn’t work. At the same time, Diana struggles with her ex-boyfriend not getting the message about their break up.
With time Shane and Diana get closer, helping each other out. The go from fake dating to friends with benefits to …??
I really like the characters. Shane and Diana are hilarious and very honest to each other. I enjoyed their witty fights and their relationship developing. They also need to overcome some obstacles. I would have liked to read more about their struggles and how they overcame it.
