- tender, sweet, the normal romance novel appeals
<b>Negative</b>
- made me think too much about my own heartbreak and how mine cannot be resolved this way.
-lack of diversity. (Typical for the hockey fiction genre.)
<b>Audiobook stuff</b>. None of these are complaints!! Just me being xenophobic toward americans (in a way that is merely silly and completely unreasonable)
It is always a lil funny when an american audiobook narrator has to pronounce <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/tuque">toque.</a> For the unaware — it rhymes with duke. I also think it's interesting how a french canadian accent is done in a france french way as though it doesn't come from back further in the roof of your mouth. Very zee zat hon hon hon baguette and not very <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity">tabarnak</a> celine dion-y. <a href="https://youtu.be/2AKUqgy7UzY?si=C0eKTQRUt2PhyMRm">This Hour Has 22 Minutes has some sketches of a parody of the accent</a>.

[looks at the Matthew Tkachuk hugging David Rittich embroidery I
am working on while listening to this] [looks at audiobook] [looks at reference picture] Hm.
It's great though! This is not a complaint. It should come as no surprise that within those same ten minutes I was ready to die for Casey.

I liked how a character was depicted as being on the asexual spectrum, since that is rare representation in romance novels.
Thank you to Carina Adores and NetGalley for the free eARC.
