BRO THIS BOOK HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLDDDDDDDDDD. Writing this review a month or so post reading, I will say that I think about this one the most even though I think the third one is my favourite of the entire series.

Frankie and Ren's little friends to lovers buildup was so stinking precious especially with how perceptive they both are of each other's needs despite not knowing every nittygritty detail of their backstories. Frankie's entire characterization is just beyond amazing. Her persona, the cane, the bigass dog who is obsessed with Ren, the HP spells she casts with the cane. Fucking spectacular. I want to BE her. Ren, my sunshine boy. I love him and I cannot believe he is simply fictional because I want to meet someone who acts like this IRL. 

God tier smut as always.

Truly an incredible sophomore book in this series.

I loved this book! I think that representation in books is the best thing ever. I loved reading about characters with autism and one that also had RA. I have a friend with an autoimmunity disease and know how hard even you to work is some days. I truly appreciated how well this was conveyed in this book. I loved the times when Frankie was brave enough to tell Ren about her pain. Of course I loved the times when he knew without her telling him even more.

This book was a perfect balance. Representation, sports, romance, laughter. I cannot wait to dive into book 3!

I liked this better than the first one. I liked the fact that Ren actually defies all the stereotypes about hockey players and toxic masculinity. Sometimes, the pacing felt a little off, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!
