I wanted to like this book and there were moments I did enjoy it, but it felt like it rushed through some of the most pivotal moments. I could’ve also lived without some of the spicier scenes. I enjoyed the smaller romantic moments in it. Forehead kisses and bonding over interests, would’ve like more of that and less of the thirsting. I also very much wish I hadn’t read the epilogue at all. Full cliché. A lot of the characters and story beats were really compelling but they just weren’t fleshed out enough.

Enjoyed reading this! Suuuper steamy but it also felt like reading a fun teen book (do not let your kids read this, but it was fun as an adult). Kind of a longer read but I enjoyed it to finish out the plot and get some more character-building.
Anastasia/Stassie (figure-skater, junior in college, super hot girl, hard-worker in her sport, confident) and Nate (senior hockey team captain, takes care of his friends, rich). Quite a bit of binge drinking. And sex. But the story is enough to support it. Worth a read.

If at least 100 pages of sex and partying were cut out, maybe this could've been a decent romance. There were actually some interesting plotpoints and the love interest was not toxic at all, which is probably the reason I actually finished this one. It feels very juvenile and I'm obviously too old to read college romances, even though I'm only 25.

Also, I hated the epilogue so much, I don't understand why romance authors think this always has to be a happily ever after, even when the character actually expressed they don't want it earlier in the book.
