If yall are looking for a sweet, tender, and hopeful hockey romance with two characters that are absolutely perfect for each other, this is the book for you. This is “to be loved is to be seen” in such a precious way. This is the second installment from Peyton Corrinne in her Undone series following Ro, a hopeless romantic brainiac tutor who has been walked over by coworkers and her on-again off-again boyfriend, and Freddy, an all-star hockey player who struggles in his classes and has a certain reputation on campus. The slow burn was sloooooow burning but soooo worth it here! Freddy and Ro are so lovely to each other and I love how deep Corrinne makes her stories while balancing the classic fun of sports romances. She also has a bangin’ skill of creating playlists for her books! I loved following Ro and Freddy as they went from student/tutor, to friends, to lovers, and the whole story pulls on your heartstrings. I would also say that reading Unsteady first is necessary just because the characters, events, and relationships will make a lot more sense with that background. I love how relatable Ro is, and Freddy was such a dream, I want to hug them both and then also punch a couple other characters in the face. Unloved releases February 4th, and I’m already excited to see whose story we will get next (fingers crossed for Bennett)!!!💚🏒🎀
