stephanie archer never misses!! i am screaming!! rory is the goofiest guy who’s been trying to get at hazel since they were in high school together. hazel hasn’t had the best luck with relationships and has sworn off dating hockey players. this was the cutest book — i’m so in love with how patient and understanding rory is.
