I am so wildly conflicted on this book. I picked it up because I needed a palette cleanser and finally caved to booktok. The spice was fun and I totally get why the hockey girls like it. I was surprised to see how many darker themes were explored in book given the focus/attention it gets. The writing isn't anything spectacular but it also didn't detract from the story. 

I think the rating on this one is more personal for me than others because I can't say I would necessarily recommend this book to other people but a lot of the plot/background hit way to close to home to not hold it close to my heart.
