I appreciate this book because it did NOT have a contrived third-act breakup due to a miscommunication. It did feel a bit repetitive at times. Riley would get mad. Adam would apologize. Adam would apologize. Riley would get mad. Still, it was a cute book and I love Rachel Reid and hockey romance.

This is a heartbreaking story of loss and finding love, the second time around. Riley’s Dad died, and who shows up at the funeral? The man he loved who couldn’t love him back. True limerence level suffering for Riley for close to 20 years. Then out of the blue, Adam comes back into his life with a new perspective and a desire to make things right. Between the second chance romance themes, and the grief of a parent content, this book made me teary multiple times.
And on top of the story that was touching, was the fact that the author, Rachel Reid, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s this year and pushed through all the barriers that it created for her, to give us this beautiful story of gay love. I would read anything she writes and I hope she can continue to give us sad boy hockey romances.

No surprise here that it’s still a 5 star. I love Rachel Reid’s books.
