This book was so good! The perfect amount of humor, charm, and cuteness. If you're looking for a comedic and (mostly) lighthearted read, this is it. Emphasis on mostly. There are a few parts that are pretty emotional and warrant a trigger warning check.
What I Loved:
• The hilarious group chats and ideas on how to be romantic
• The chemistry, witty banter, and spice
• The found family friend group with strong bonds
• The lengths Halsey goes through to get Blakely to fall for him (very much book boyfriend material)
• Communication! In the bedroom, on the ice, and everywhere in between.
What I Didn't Like:
The last part. It wasn't exactly bad. In fact, it was actually pretty good. It was emotional and kind of heartbreaking, written well enough to make me cry. But the resolution just seemed to come a little too quick. I get that it's a romcom but if you're gonna spend so much time setting this up, maybe flesh it out a bit. More like a third act scene rather than a last minute addition. But as it was written, it felt a little rushed. So I took off half a star.
That being said, this is the first book that I read of this series, and I'm so excited to go back and read the stories of all the other boys.
4.5/5 ⭐
