Two big babies trying to be adults
First of all I hate a plot when someone tell character to broke their romantic relationship and they just do it. It sounds just stupid and unreasonable. But later about that.
What do we have here? Say hello to our h, she's big 22 years old baby. She really judgy, hateful and shame everyone over their sexual life. Of course she almost virgin and didn't have a lot sexual encounters.
Her ex boyfriend didn't do much for events and been there just to move a plot.
Her parents painfully separated recently in the year, but instead to be adult and mind her business about it she just made everything about her.
Yeah I agree her father was a shitty human being towards her mother. But when she saw that everyone in her family moving along with their life, she couldn't just be grown up and do the same.
She shame every girl in this book besides her best friend. She even shame her boyfriend constantly after he told her about quantity of his sexual partners.
The H is also big baby, whose hand need constantly be held by his father. Because noooo he can't make decisions in his 23 years by himself.
He thinks that our h not like other girls.
"Natalie isn’t like any girl I’ve ever met." And throughout the book, he constantly opposes her to other girls. This whole polemic "most girls" is annoying. All girls are different, this girls in his life wanted use him, he used them, he no better than them.
Aside from this, his numerous sexual exploits and stalkerish glimpses he just plain perfect. I must say too much perfect. He so understanding, so calm, so cheerful, so forgiving, he God in the sack.
They decided to have fake relationship, (not question why, otherwise the whole plot will fall apart) and H promised to h some sex lessons (also not ask why). Was there any sex lessons there, not really. I don't know why this plot even been there?
But H have a overbearing parent who thinks he can dictate his child's life (who was perfectly fine with it before he met our h). So his parent decided come between h and H relationship, because he knows better.
He persuaded our h to break up with H. And what she do? Maybe she discuss it with H? Or maybe she said, "Oh, you want me to break up with your son. Let me think about that. Oh, how about no?" But also nope. She overthink about this, when the H ask her what's wrong, she brushes him off. And finally when he tells her about his feelings and that he wants be with her, what she doing?
She tells him about his amount of sexual partners and shame him again. And break up with him.
It wasn't great book but till 70% it was passable at least. But then I just started read dialogues because I was bored.
Smutty is big, important part for my NA romances. There was like 2,5 intimacy scenes and it wasn't great. I think after they had their first sex, book becomes very boring.
At the ending I waited some big confrontation between H and his father, but it was so meager, more like slap on the wrist.
Of course, h's father canceled his wedding, slowed down his relationship and promised to give his attention to his little girl, because, "I didn’t want to act like a big baby. Even though I kind of feel like a big baby at the moment."
Because you are.

I'm a sucker for the hate/love and fake relationship trope. So this book was a double bonus with both tropes making an appearance. Natalie clashes with the university's star ice hockey player Brody. Every interaction since freshman year involved bickering and bantering. But when Natalie finds herself in an embarrassing situation, Brody, out of all people, comes to her rescue. They agree to fake date until the situation blows over but things change when they start to get to know each other a little bit more.
There was lots of drama with family issues with regards to fathers for both characters as well as navigating college politics. Natalie eventually grew on me. She was one tough nut to crack. Feisty and bullheaded, it took a while for her to loosen up and start trusting her feelings and opening herself up to the possibilities. Brody is a member of my Book Boyfriend Club. For a guy who was the consummate manwhore and had never been in a relationship before he was surprisingly good at it. He had a great sense of humor, was supportive, understanding and all kinds of awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and am hoping the other characters get their own stories.

I was expecting another sport romance where the main guy is overly possessive and alpha like I find in most sports romance books (nothing wrong with that) but I was actually really surprised by Brody. Honestly, one of the best male love interest that I have had the pleasure to read about.
This one it’s not that small but I think I read it too fast it was nice, light and have a bit of drama.
3 stars ✨ it was good

I rated this two stars because for the first 30% of this book I didn’t enjoy it. I thought Natalie’s character was a b*tch, and the hockey players were trying too hard to be fuck boys. I enjoyed a decent amount of the romance, and would’ve probably rated it higher because of this, but not enjoying a major chunk of the book brought the score down.
I’m a sucker for sport romances okay?
I loved the fake dating trope and that there was dyslexia rep
