Zanders + Stevie have my heart 🥹 This book is the perfect blend of banter, spice, romance, sports + emotion. Although it’s a chunk at just under 600 pages, I read it in just a few sittings because I just couldn’t put it down: it was such a fun and engrossing read. 

I love an enemies to lovers trope + all the sassy back and forth and tension that comes with it, and it was done perfectly in this plot. Stevie was a fierce and sassy character with quick wit but a lot of insecurities: she was real and relatable + she’s easy to connect to as a character. Zanders was cocky, confident + egotistic but incredibly loyal and when he let his barriers down… *swoon*🤌🏽 he was a total sweetheart to Stevie, and a massive softie at heart 🫶🏽 

If you’re not yet convinced, there’s dogs.. lots of dogs!

Between the banter, the steam (we’ll ignore the third act breakup: my one + only complaint), the hockey scenes, the depth to the characters, the honest communication about mental health and therapy, the friendships and found family? This was book perfection 🙌🏽

Don't really remember where I stopped reading. I hadn't checked the trigger warnings beforehand since I had read The Right Move before this one and assumed it would be fine. While reading the first couple chapters the main character had mentioned her figure at least 5 times, which made me check the trigger warnings. The book contains themes of body shaming etc. As someone still recovering from an ed this is not a book for me at this point in my life. Might be able to come back to it at some point. Hopefully

Super sweet story! Main characters were officially together at around 55% of the book which made me wonder how the remaining 45% would go, and then that 45% felt either unnecessary or like ships passing in the night. BUT the end??? Everything got wrapped up in a beautiful bow and seeing both characters overcome their individual issues before being together again felt realistic. This was also the first book where I related to body image issues from the FMC and it made me feel more confident. Overall? Loved this book.
