things i liked:
- representation of positive therapy experiences
- healthy communication between the main characters
- one side character is in a wheelchair and the book does not make a big deal out of this
- the spice (mostly) didn`t cause me to throw up
things i disliked:
- there was literally no plot and half of the stuff that does happen coud have been left out, there is literally no reason for this to be OVER 400 PAGES LONG
- all side characters felt like cardbord cutouts, they all had like one personality trait and no depth at all
- same goes for the antagonist, who is just shitty for the sake of causing conflict in the main couples' relationship
- also, there are way to many side characters in the first place, most of them get introduced with a bunch of info dumped all over the place, do something that furthers Stassie and Nate`s relationship and then never show up again, it`s confusing, why even introduce them at all????????????????????? maybe, if we had like half the amount of characters, they could have an actual personality and depth instead of just being plot devices
- Anastasia`s nickname: "Stassie"
- they play Never Have I Ever, eventhough they are over the age of 14
- Stassie and Nate do "the no-pants dance", as Nate would say, while he is dressed up as Gru from Despicable Me
- they go to third base in an Uber, with all of their friends present in the front seats
- the hockeyplayers` group chat is called "PUCKBUNNIES"
- Stassies petname for Nate is "bub"
- the epilogue
now, just for fun, some of quotes that that made me want to either cringe or throw up:
Nate keeps sliding [the pucks] in so easily, just like he did with your kitty cat. (p. 97)
Let him puck your mouth, Stassie (p. 97)
Is this what being dicknotized feels like? (p. 146)
That shit is making my vagina scream and I`m not sure she`s ready for the consequences of being a horny little slut... again. (p. 149)
Even my ovaries are screaming (p. 166)
I think he was concentrating on not accidentally poking me with his penis. (p. 204)
suddenly it`s Niagara Falls between my legs. (p. 205)
"If I say it`s a hockey stick, will you play with it?" (p. 205)
"Wanna do the no-pants dance with me?" (p. 244)
"[...] my balls are super toasty." (p. 300)
My nipples pebble under the heat of his glare. (p. 397)

I will give full credit for the eating disorder rep, and anxiety rep. The story definitely juggled a lot of elements and I appreciate that Nate didn’t miraculously become a figure skater, as that was a huge reason I didn’t want to read this. So yay for realistic plot points.
All in all a very fun, don’t think too hard spicy book, I would say spicy level on this is 4. (Multiple spicy scenes, and some kinks)
