I was trying to decide what to rate this book, but let's be real. This was such a great read! I loved the characters, the humour, the rep - it's diverse with disability and mental health rep - and just the all around fluff and sweetness that we get!! I admit that I wish there had been more on -page time for some female characters. I understand it's lacking because, well, hockey. But we only had "the Morgans" who weren't even really there, Cody and Eli's moms, Eli's sister, and Abuela. And none were developed. But when that's my only criticism, that's great! I definitely laughed numerous times, felt a sense of kinship with Alex's anxiety and panic attacks, and even teared up once. Oh and Kuzy is the best!! New favourite character 😂😂
Anyways, if you're looking for queer, slow burn with pining, and allll the fluff - definitely pick this one up!

Yep, absolutely loved this book—just everything about it was lovely. The characters were detailed and very lovable–Jeff and the best soft bro, Kuzy need to be protected at all costs. Hawk and Bells were the best too. I loved how Abuela was so wholesome.
Eli and Alex were so cute and had such a lovable dynamic. The banter, the softness, the honesty, just everything. It was such a healthy relationship and I adore them so much. Eli excitedly telling people how they met while Alex is in the background like: "do we really need to tell people that" will never get old.
Not to mention the acknowledgements page, I think that was the best one I've read. I love fanfiction so much and it's nice to see others with the same appreciation. Such a great book and I'm so happy I read it.
