Walk of Shame starts with Astrid vowing never to fall again and only to have one-night stands. She does not want to bring public humiliation to herself again and not to her father, a famous hockey coach. Astrid meets Cal at a bar, and they are instantly attracted to one another. She thinks this will be like any of her one-night stands, but will it? Her father convinces her to work under him for his last hockey season, and guess who works for her father, too? Cal! Um, major awkwardness because now she must find a way to fight her attraction to him while he finds ways to woo her.
Walk of Shame was my first Avery Flynn book and will not be my last.
It was cute and funny, and it made my heart melt. Cal is definitely book-boyfriend material who pays attention to things Astrid likes and will go out of his way to do anything for her. Plus, I love the trope of the guy falling first.
Astrid was a good character, too, and had some growth. I get why she vows never to date again and does not want public scrutiny again, but a part of me wanted to scream at her to open her eyes and see how good Cal is. Plus, the girl needed some significant therapy from the trauma her ex put her through. Astrid did not annoy me because she was trying to find ways to navigate through her feelings and move past what her ex did to her. So many moments in this book made me laugh because Astrid would end up awkwardly avoiding Cal.
Overall, this was a fun book; I just loved every aspect.
