I thought it was a good book, but it didn't grab me. I thought the life lessons and the growth of the characters were so beautifully described. They felt like real teenagers. Except maybe the NHL part, a college team would have been more believable. I think the instant love just didn't appeal to me. It was too fast-paced and lacked evolution and growth. Both characters are relatable and all the side characters are really awesome! Overall, this is a nice coming-of-age book.
