Okay guys, cmon. Garrett Graham is not an archetype.

So let's not focus on the poor man's Graham, but on our lovely Natalee. A couple things I really liked about her story. 1. Yelling at the 27 year old step mom who thought it would be fun to randomly appear. God, that part was so gratifying. Honestly, I think I would've hated this book if she didn't have the back bone that she does. ALTHOUGH. Quick point, I love how she is completely unwilling to move on (considering it happened like, 6 months prior) for the sole reason that she does not want to.

Good for her. I know there's this whole thing of forgive and forget but people seem to forget that never speaking to someone again is also an option. I heavily voted for that one especially with the bimbo but alas. And yes. I will call her a bimbo. Is this v feminist of me? No. but god does it feel RIGHT.

Anywhom, it's a little swoony and a little cute but it is just another hockey romance with the Graham archetype.

This was a fun fake dating/hate to love romance with a nice dose of family interference. Definitely a lot of fun.

After reading "Hate you Always" - Brody & Natalie's daughter's book - I had to read this. Kind of strange order to read them in.

This was a great book with great characters. Brody and Natalie are perfect for each other. Glad Brody stood up to his dad in the end.
