4.5
Major trigger warning for SA and self harm, for both this book and the previous novel. This book has a surprising amount of compassion without ignoring the harmful impact of characters when they do harmful things. Did not think I would read not one, but two books largely centered around hockey, but I sure did!
Moderate: Sexism, Outing, Self harm, Suicide attempt, Suicide, Terminal illness, Rape, Sexual harassment, Mental illness, and Homophobia
