It was an alright but kind of one-dimensional read. Our hockey player/streamer mod MMC Finn suffers a blow to the head that causes him to forget everything—including how to be a human apparently. His interactions with everyone leaves me confused because we don't get a good look into his personality before the accident, so all we have is this very serious, borderline rude guy (aka fanon Kylo Ren) who acts like a robot. Our FMC Naomi is a perpetually bubbly/sunshine gaming streamer who is traumatized over her mother's passing, her childhood, and Finn standing her up. Cue a bunch of misunderstandings because Finn is incapable of acting like a guy who actually likes Naomi (not in an abusive way, kind of like he's always clenching his jaw and being unintentionally cold/abrupt with everyone he comes into contact with), his realization of who she is to him, sexual tension, several kisses, her talking about her trauma and him talking about his, one confession and some sex scenes later, the book ends. I finished it within a day or so. It's a fluffy, feel-good romance that wasn't all the remarkable or unforgettable but it also didn't make me want to rage the way so many sports romances do—lacking, as far I could see, the usual problematic elements—so I ended up buying the paperback versions.
