I will not apologize for being in my hockey romance era 🥰 Just like the first two books in this series, I ADORED this book! First of all, I LOVE Allie. She’s a lot like me— being relationship oriented, having an overwhelming love for her friends, and prioritizing her future. Dean— my god, Dean. I STRONGLY disliked him in the first two books and even at the beginning of this one he gave me the ICK… the sexism & misogyny he radiated was 🤢 BUT I fell in love with him as he fell in love with Allie. I loved the deeper themes in this book— especially the plot about grief + healing. Although we saw Dean grow in his personal life, I would’ve liked to have seen him grow out of his offensive views towards women. Yeah, Allie changed his views somewhat. But we didn’t really get to see him on the other side of his objectifying views.
