As college sports romances go, I feel like this one is pretty iconic all around. And while I’m late to the game (pun intended?), I really enjoyed this as part of a hockey themed buddy read.
Was I expecting to enjoy this as much as I did? Absolutely not. But I’m here for an author that makes me reevaluate my tropes - and I was surprised by how much I appreciated this by the end!
Anastasia is the bossy side of every Uber-organized girl and the planner had me rolling. As someone who also has a paper planner that stays with me at all times, I couldn’t relate more to a FMC.
Nate Hawkins has officially joined my list of top book boyfriends. His absolute dedication to both his team, friends, sister and Anastasia is *chef’s kiss.*
Their relationship is so so fun to watch evolve, and the spice is next-level fun as they try to pretend like they’re not totally made for each other.
The cast of supporting characters in this book is incredible, from the clearly neuro-diverse underclassman (Henry, honestly, may have more of my heart than Nate), to the inter-abled couple whose story I wish we were able to see from their perspective.
