I have read this book several times over. Enough that I have lost track of how many times. It is a sweet college romance that makes me smile. I listened to it on audible this time. The pace, inflections and accents were well done.
I loved this book. It was a heartbreakingly beautiful story. Can't wait to read the next one.
I'm not a huge fan of the New Adult genre, but Sarina Bowen does a terrific job of making her versions quite readable. The characters are likable, and there's no post-YA angst.

This was a fun read and I’ve already been recommending it to others.
Corey begins college not as expected, even more unexpected was the friendship developed with neighbor Hartley. Crutches and a wheelchair, the two strike up more than a friendly relationship on common ground of video game hockey.
I’ve been searching for a book with a main character with a disability, and I’m so happy I fell upon this because I *love* Corey so much! I adored how each of the characters were written. Even Hartley’s friends, the glimpses we see of them I feel like I know them (and I’m happy to know that there is more to read about them!). As someone who has spent time in a wheelchair I appreciate the honesty of Corey’s inner monologue and her honesty with Hartley about the struggles that come with it. I thoroughly enjoyed the dual POV; getting to see Hartley think about his relationship with Stasia when he realizes his feelings for Corey are deep just made my heart so happy.
I thought this was a quick, fun, sweet read with standout characters. I got lost in the world of Harkness College.

I really loved this friends to lovers book.
Both Hartley and Callahan make friends very quickly over their current circumstances and a hockey console game, that brings out both of their competitive sides. Hartley broke his leg in two places and so is unable to play hockey for college this year.
Across the hallway, Callahan move in and finds a friend with her roommate Dana. Callahan was in a hockey accident last year that left her in a wheelchair and still struggling to walk. She will never be able to play the sport she loves again.
Both look out for and after the other as they spend more and more time together, however, Hartley has a girlfriend who is currently in europe. The only bit i didn't like in their relationship was when they fondled on his birthday as it was technically cheating, but then being a realist, these things do happen when alcohol is involved along with lust.
Both made a wonderful couple and it was zoo nice to see how much he cared for and did for Callahan, especially when they got together. I'm so glad that they got a HEA together.

This was a pretty cute friends to lovers book?? I feel like I haven't read many of those. Yeah this book is very cute and basic, a fun simple read. I liked the disability rep, loved Hartley, and the overall relationship was pretty cute and mature. Love to see it.
Btw, won this in a goodreads giveaway which is pretty cool.

Solid romance. I wish there was more groveling and some dialogue was a little cringey but still cute
