Astoundingly bad writing. I am astounded.
I don’t know any interpersonal relationships that exist like this IRL. In a 14-year-old girl’s diary and horny dreams? Maybe.
Liking IKEA is simply not enough scaffolding to give a character a personality.
As an American reader, I learned new terms like “California lane change” (I promise you the drivers of New England and the DMV are far, far worse), garburator (we use the much less fun garbage disposal), and “ambulance dudes.”
Stone appears to have a tenuous grasp of the sport of hockey. What even is a sports romance? Sports sure happen in the background but they don’t matter here.
Kudos to Stone for attempting to deal with unequal positions of power between our celebrity hero and unhoused heroine.Random hockey players paying for our gal’s college tuition? Jobs and apartments falling out of the sky? These are some real convenient Romance Reasons.
I desperately need to stop taking book recommendations from other people. Three stars cause it was easy enough to read but I still lost several brain cells.
