Thank you to Atria books and NetGalley for the E-ARC of this title.
Wow! This book absolutely blew me away. Peyton Corinne took a college aged hockey romance and turned it into a story of depth, acceptance, and love.
The characters were well drawn out and the friendship that bloomed between the unlikely pair of Freddy and Ro felt so genuine. From the outside looking in, the characters are complete opposites. However, when we get into the souls of these characters, they are both lonely and seeking out validation from others. Their self worth has been stripped away by those closest to them, and they find a trust in one another that is desperately needed by both.
Ro has the most awful boyfriend throughout the book and Freddy has some messed up relationships. It would have been nice to have these villainous characters pay for their insufferable personalities.
Perhaps the most surprising character was Freddy. There is so much more than the playboy persona that plagues him. I loved the way the author navigated his story. You will add him to your all time book boyfriend list immediately.
Some of the side character stories felt vague and inconsistent with Freddy and Ro's story. I read this as a standalone, but I think reading as a series would likely put those pieces together more seamlessly.
