Man this books got me right in the feels from the start! 

Edin isn't just trying to keep his head down at college and provide for his daughter. To spend as little time away from her as possible, because hockey already does that enough, he knows he can make easy money filming at Confessions. Completely disassociating from the process allows him to not feel or connect and move on. Until Eli. Eli is slightly obsessed with Edin and when he finally has the opportunity, he films with Edin. But he takes control of the scene and won't let Edin get in his own head. The connection this creates between the two is amazing and intense.

Knowing a little of Edin's story from Rumor Has It, you know that he has some trauma to work through. I love that he's put the work in, getting therapy and surrounding himself with good people, like his frat brothers. The way the boys help with Morgan and she them both so much support is so adorable. But he was still closed off. His relationship with Eli really helps him open up and enjoy life. 

I love Crea's writing style and how inclusive all their books are. My stomach always does so many drops when reading Crea's work. The stories of acceptance and love and friendship.
