I LOVED the side characters in this book. Especially the hockey team. The only thing that made me want to keep reading was those characters. The main character was unlikeable, and how she blatantly ignored all concerns from everyone around her about her abusive partnership drove me nuts. She constantly claimed to be self aware but never actually acted accordingly. I loved the love interest, but he definitely settled. It also wasn't really an enemies to lovers because they got together so quickly. Also WHY did she need to nearly drown. It didn’t feel relevant for needed in the story whatsoever

Easy fun read. A bit disappointed given the hype but quite good nonetheless

Kind of found both stassie and Nate annoying at points and not super well rounded. I feel like some of the more serious plot points of the book fell flat a little bit
e.g. while I think it’s important to address eating disorders, I feel like it was just a quick fix and didn’t really focus on any difficulties and was just added as a quick plot point
I feel like there was a bit of tokenism to try and make the book more diverse maybe?

Kind of wished there was more sport in it???
like with Nate why was it always just like ‘oh yeah we won our game’ EVERY TIME


never really a fan of a pregnancy/engagement epilogue .. but especially in this one as she said she wanted to adopt:/

Also why didn’t she just go solo before college? Would have saved so many issues lmao 

That being said Aaron can get in the bin omfg


Feel like I’ve just ranted about it but overall it was nice and enjoyable!! Just not amazing haha
