Hockey Bois was a very fun queer sports romance with a delightful slooooooow burn. While it is definitely heavy on the miscommunication trope, it almost leaned more to unwillingness to communicate that then transforms into superb communication, which was honestly a pretty refreshing take on the trope. There was a specific background relationship (no spoilers) that was adorable, and it would be interesting to read a bit more about them. I did find a few spelling/grammar mistakes that bothered me, but this was also self-published so it makes sense for some of these errors to accidentally make it to the final draft.
