I LOVED THIS BOOK!
I think my favorite in the series so far?
I've already read the CU Hockey series, so I know of Ollie, and I was so happy to get his story! I can't wait to reread CU Hockey when I finish these and hear them all talk of him knowing his background.
I really love Ollie and his family so much! (I don't love the fact that Max is clearly into Ash though. Gross.)
I love that this book showed a different way families can react and how even being so happy and supportive of an LGBTQ kid can have negative effects.
And I loveeee that they're still calling him Clark!!!!
I really liked Lennan and the fact that he has integrity. I love that he never even considered selling Ollie's story, and I'm so happy with how his career ended up (on the Sports Illustrated writing about gay athletes front).
I just really loved them as a couple and had a super fun time reading this!
I also love all of the cameos of Maddox, Damon, Matt, and Noah. And side characters like Jet! I loved seeing Jet more like a friend than the little brother, but the hint of him and Soren tbh. I know they are the couple and have a book, but with Jet being so young it just gives me such a fucking ick. And I know Jet is older when it gets to his book (at least she originally said he would be) but it seems clear something happened now and I'm not a fan. So far. I'm sure I'll eat my words. But I'm also not a huge age gap person.
Also I really want to fucking know what happened between Maddox's sister and Damon's friend! Why not hint this book?!??!?
