I was so excited when I realized this was available to read on netgalley, as I was following along Lexi’s journey writing a hockey romance on Tiktok. Being that she’s an NHL wag and an ex hockey player herself, I knew she was capable of doing the genre justice!
This book was absolutely adorable and had so many different facets that I loved. Jaylen is so adorable and is such a golden retriever, and I loved everything he would do to impress and win over Lucy. Lucy was a refreshing FMC who was alternative but never once felt “not like other girls”. She was relatable and imperfect and I truly loved that about her character.
I loved the mental health representation, LGBTQIA+ representation, and how it brings attention to the racism that is very present in hockey leagues and hockey spaces.
For this being Lexi’s first book, I think she did a really great job, and I’m really looking forward to reading more of her work in the future.
