Thank you Mary Warren for an early arc copy. 

This is my second Mary Warren book and I think I need to just accept that she isn’t the writer for me.

I wanted so hard to enjoy this. A plus-size hockey romance is definitely my thing, but I found the writing style too ‘tell-not-show-y’ and the instalove made the love story feel like it had no where to go. (However, I am aware that I read an early arc and the trope is soulmates). 

This covers important themes of communication, DA recovery, and positive plus-size representation. 

This is not a bad book, just not the book for me personally.
