”A love above the rest. That’s what a soul mate is. Someone with smooth edges to soften our sharp ones. Someone who fits us so perfectly, vibrates on the same frequency, makes all our best paths shine. And together? Together, everything is exactly the way it’s meant to be.”  

What I really liked about this book was the fact that Garrett ”Gare-Bear” Andersen helped Jennifer ”Jennie” Beckett work on realizing her worth, but that at the end of the day is was Jennie herself that had the realization, if wasn’t that Garrett convinced her of that, but that she realized that he was telling the truth. She did what she wanted, and went for it. I loved Garrett’s character - he’s so unlike the typical hockey player we read in books. Garrett is gentle (not in the bedroom though), and he’s shy and rambles around Jennie because he finds her beautiful and intimidating!

Tropes:

• Hockey romance
• Best friend’s sister
• Friends to Lovers
• Friends with benefits

Dragged a Lot at the end imo,

it was never super believable to me that she was going to take that job, so the amount of time spent on her going to the interview and questioning everything was just kinda… boring

good chemistry & a very healthy relationship!

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.

DNF at 55%. I was getting super bored and struggling to finish. Just not for me unfortunately. 😔

TW: sexual assault and bullying. No warnings listed by author (that I can find).
