I really enjoyed the relationship dynamic between Nova, Rigby, River, Devan. They really balanced each other out well and seemed to form a reasonably healthy polycule. I also loved that this was a sports romance with some legit sports representation! They boys actually played hockey and we had scenes about the games that were not only focused on the reaction of the FMC. We got the action scenes I crave.

I could not get over the baby named Huey, my brain just kept making Huey Lewis and the News references in my brain. I have never thought of Huey being anything other than a nickname, yes I know that is a weird thing to get stuck on. It didn't lower my enjoyment of the book, just took me out of the fantasy from time to time haha.

The aspect that took my rating down was the miscommunication surrounding the conflict, despite Rigby showing himself as being the emotionally mature one. I wanted to throttle all four of them and just make them have an open conversation.

This was my first sports romance and it did not disappoint! Grace is such an amazing writer and I absolutely love everything she puts out.

I could not put this book down. All the feels you would expect from a Grace book. Absolutely loved the dynamic between Nova and the guys. Rigby has earned a spot in my top favorite book boyfriends!
