GARRETT. OMG Garrett. He is a cinnamon roll. He is so patient, supportive, encouraging, understanding, and sweet. At first he is so intimidated by Jennie that he could barely form a coherent sentence, but once he became more comfortable around her.... Wow did he ever gain his confidence. He leaves space for Jennie to be herself and never holds her back. He becomes her support system, her shoulder to cry on, her number 1 fan. He listens to what she needs and never pushes her beyond her comfort level. Plus he isn't intimated by her box of "toys". We all deserve a Garrett.
Jennie has been through so much. She has lost her father and
The development of this relationship is so cute and fun. Their friendship slowly progressed as they learn to open up to one another and trust each other. They gradually develop feelings for each other, as Jennie said they didn't really "fall" in love.
Again the supporting characters are so much fun! I LOVE Hank and liked that we got Ollie and Carter throughout the book. Unfortunately, Carter continued to be a controlling man-child.
Also NO 3rd act breakup! Win!
I felt the book, like the last in this series, was a bit too long and repetitive. Also the who Toronto storyline was kinda pointless, she was never going to leave, that could have been taken out.
Tropes: hockey romance, secret relationship, "friends"with benefits to friends to lovers, found family, brothers best friend

THIS IS ALL GONNA BE SPOILERS SO BE AWARE OF THAT! Sexual Content: They fuck a Lot kids; no condoms here. Body Shaming, Fatphobia & Eating Disorder: Jennie is a professional dancer & both talks abt her past experiences with these things And experiences them on the page. Toxic Friendship & Bullying: Jennie’s dance partner & another student are definitely bullies to her. Death of a Parent, Car Accident, Grief: Jennie’s father died when she was young bc of a drunk driver, it still effects her a lot. Injury/Injury Detail & Medical Content: Garrett gets a concussion in the early part of the novel, Jennie sprains her ankle around this time too; later they are in a hospital and Jennie talks abt her IV. Pregnancy: Jennie’s sister in law Olivia is pregnant through about 95% of the novel. Sexual Harassment: Jennie’s dance partner makes multiple advances despite her repeated no (and is put in his place), including kissing her twice. Sexual Assault: Jennie’s ex boyfriend Kevin, in high school, allowed the football team to record audio of him taking her virginity.marine2907's review against another edition

I’m so used to giving up only pieces of myself, I don’t even know how to be whole with someone anymore.
Being with you is like watching my favourite TV show. I’m always on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what comes next.
You’re safe with me.
🏒 Adam’s story is coming in 2023!
