Evidently, I'm not a huge fan of foul language, but it leaves an impression and has some compelling qualities. The sexual tension and romance portrayed align with liberal perspectives, which can be perceived as common and cliché. However, the plot provides sufficient background for the main characters, making it easy to root for them. There were surprising twists, and it's great that the focus was on the evolution of the characters' personalities and behaviors, rather than solely the romantic aspects. Although I'm not knowledgeable about hockey, it appears to be well-represented in the narrative.

oh god. i’m glad i trucked through but god was it a rough time. i hate when i like them better as individuals and their stories as solo characters than as a couple and lowkey this was that for me. i did find luke a little more compelling, like he couldve had his own book romance cast aside i feel, but that’s neither here nor there. the ending was BONKERS. like this had me in the first half ish i wont lie and then BOOM. made me sick and fuckin tired. but i mean for luke alone a 4-4.25, gigi a 3 maybe, and them together a solid fuckin 2 flat so do w that information what you will
