Don't expect much from this book in terms of plot or character growth. The plot was actually interesting, but most of the second half was the characters having sex and nothing else really happening. I would've been fine with that but the main characters often made sexist comments and there was some vague biphobia that made me dislike Wes a lot. I wish there was more time spent on the exploring the characters as people.

Also I really didn't need to hear that much detail about their sex as teens. I could've gotten the highlights.

Listened on audible.

Him is a hockey romance between two old friends Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley.

I've been wanting to read this book for a while as it's a highly recommended MM romance book and I'm sooo glad I have read it. The audiobook was great and the two people reading it were perfect for the characters.

Can't wait to read the next book in the series Us!

2.5

this book was definitely...fine. its nothing groundbreaking, its nothing spectacular, but its not horrible either. its just...a fine book. i didnt know it would be so sex-heavy when i got into it so it was a little jarring - it really does turn out to be more porn that substance near the halfway mark - which is fine, i just wish everything else would have been developed more. like there should have been more tension and angst before there was any relationship development, but for what this book is, its okay. i guess the other books in the series can go more into depth on the two characters, but i dont have much hope bc this book was quite shallow :/
