I just want to thank Elle Kennedy for this series because it seriously brought back my love of reading. I flew through the 4 off-campus books in less than a month and I haven't done that shit since I was 12... ANYWAYS my review for this book... 10/10!!! I have loved reading every single word on those pages. It was everything I didn't know I needed. I already recommended it to 3 people and will continue to recommend it to everyone. It's just soooo good!

Did I love this book? No. Did I hate it? No. I liked certain things about it: the realistic portrayals of life/dating after sexual trauma, and the accurate hockey talk. I didn’t like that Garrett basically pressured Hannah into their situation and she falls head over heels for him (that’s how we know Elle Kennedy likely isn’t a sexual abuse survivor). The characters felt very young or maybe I’m just getting old. Will I read the rest of these? Probably not. Life is short and my tbr is too long for mediocre books.
