I read this to experiment with the whole 'hockey romance' trend, but I was very impressed with the writing and the character development. Both characters had complex emotional lives independent of their relationship with each other. 

It was a little disappointed with nature of the third act conflict, but all the characters told them how stupid they were being, which helped.

Joshua Jackson (Pacey!!!!!! 😍) reads the male PoV of the audiobook and it is glorious. GLO-RI-OUS! Such a cute romance. A hockey player and former ballerina - I liked that storyline very much seeing them get over their own individual issues and come together. It also made me want to go camping to see the Northern Lights and I am totally a hotel girl! 

Here’s my vote for Joshua Jackson to narrate more audiobooks 🙋🏻‍♀️

Super cute read and very rom com like. If you want something spicy this is not it, there are spicy scenes but it's few and far between
