sierrachenee's review against another edition
3.5
Taylor was great. I liked her a lot. I just did not appreciate how she was written. Taylor is a curvy girl and every chapter it is brought up how insecure she is about it. Conor is constantly reassuring her and it just becomes grating. At some point you have to find that confidence within yourself and not rely on a guy for it. A persons weight should not be written as their personality trait. Having some mentions does make sense but the sheer amount was absolutely appalling. Even my precious boy Conor made a comment putting down skinny bodies in the book. Like why
I’m also not a big fan of how one of the only gay characters in the whole series just had to go through a traumatic moment near the end that really didn’t need to happen at all.
On top of that I just hate miscommunication so having it happen twice in a short span was aggravating. Taylor and Conor could have been great and they really did have a lot in common and worked on the same wave length so there was no reason for it.
The lows in this book were so low but the highs were also really high too.
Conor already started off great. He is a big sweetheart, respectful, funny, laidback, and just an all around decent person. He manages to grow so much in the book and it made me so happy to see. He deserves the best.
I also loved seeing Coach finally get some romance in his life. It was long over due and hilarious.
Conor also has some of the better interactions with all of the guys in the Briar U series and seems to be friends with them where as previous books it could be more disjointed. It didn’t have as much hockey sadly but it was nice to see otherwise.
