This was absolute perfection. This god damn man!! This story was so beautiful. Single mum and hockey player man. They’re neighbours and they end up meeting in the halls. They become friends through his connection with her son. She ends up needing a roommate at the same time that she does so he moves in. From there they explore their connection and the perfection just grows. Alex ( her son ) was my favourite child in a book ever. I fell in love with him. I adored every main character with my entire heart. Asher was so respectful of everything. Her boundaries, her exploring her sexuality etc. the way that he adored her! Auden’s growth in this story was one of my favourite parts. She’s so strong and watching her get even stronger was crazy. Love love loved it!!
