Pucking Around
by Emily Rath
emotional
funny
fast-paced
I had originally DNF’d this book a few years ago and didn’t think I’d read it again but I surprised myself.
After going back and forth between different hockey romances, I was led back to this one again and again. So instead of ignoring it and just letting it stay on my DNF list, I decided to give it another try. And I’m so glad I did.
I loved this story.
Rachel and her guys were amazing to read. I loved their growth throughout the book and how supportive each of them were when exploring different aspects of their relationship. Each of them revealed parts of their past that would make anyone’s heart ache.
I would’ve loved a little more from some of the characters than I got but I’m not mad by it. My heart went out to Jake and Caleb toward the end of the book during that particular game. I hated seeing Jake hurt and broken over something he felt he was responsible for.
Thankfully Caleb managed to help him realise that what’s done is done and no amount of wishing will change what happened. Finally the confession is made and goodness was it worth it. I loved everything about it.
Ilmari letting not only Rachel but Caleb and Jake into his life was beautiful and added even more depth to his character. Especially when they all decided to give their relationship a go.
This story had me drawn in from the first few chapters. There were moments I wanted to slap some of the side characters as well as the main characters. One character I wouldn’t get sick of slapping is Avery. Goodness, I absolutely hate everything about him.
All in it was a fun, enjoyable read. Although I will say it took me almost a week to finish this book because of the length of it.
