I loved this book!!! It brought together the joys and confusion of finding love, the fun of hockey, with the trauma of the past, & the healing journey to move on. The author wonderfully mixed all these aspects together, in such an incredible way!
And Hannah & Garret have such an amazing story; both healing from their own separate traumas, but coming together to support eachother in their journeys! They are #relationshipgoals ššš

As the first book of the series it did not disappoint. I actually really enjoyed it. The wit and humour in it is just me. Like i relate to it so much.
But this book had a lot of layers. Loads of trauma and broken teenagers trying to find peace in each other. This is somewhat relatable in the sense where we've all been through something and we hope to be lucky enough to find someone who could help you through that. And i hope everyone finds that one day because I know I have.
This book follows Garrett a star hockey player and Hannah a music major through the journey of love. It's kind of ironic that they got together since she had a crush on another guy when they first started talking. But that changed really quick. Them getting together was unexpected for them since she was just supposed to be helping him with a paper. But i think that just makes it better.
But the way Garrett and Hannah support each other through their struggles is really inspiring. I do think this book is an amazing read.
Make sure to pay attention to the trigger warnings though. At some parts it can get quite heavy emotinally. But it is written so well and it builds the perfect foundation for the rest of the series.

1) I didn't know this was so smutty. If I had know I would have not read this, probably. But like, that's totally on me because why would this have that kind of cover if it wasn't smutty and why did I not read if it had spice.
2) She's so petite small but busty shy but sarcastic smart and funny but no one likes her omg. Such a Y/N character honestly, lacks sooo much depth. Literally the main points of this was that she had big tits and was sarcastic (and she wasn't even that sarcastic).
3) Literally it's so funny how it tried to fill the diverse cast part because it was made very clear that the Jae guy was Korean if you couldn't tell by his name (yay! he appeared more than once, so good for you author) and the black friend who of course was huge and black (did you know he was black?).
The .25 stars come from getting me out of not reading s lot, because it did well its job, and the 1 point comes from the multiple mentions to Ryan Gosling, which I approve (of course the main character doesn't like him because she's soooo different)
