Loved the storyline on this one. Was a quick read for me as I was hooked.

There is explicit sexual scenes throughout the book but I didn’t feel as if the story was only about sex. There was a good story line and the character development is *chef’s kiss*

Alsoooo…
Manchmal brauche ich diesen 2014er Wattpad vibe und dafür ist das Buch perfekt!
Normalerweise lese ich was anderes, weswegen schreibstil und Charaktertiefe mir hier nicht gefallen haben.
Jedoch muss ich sagen, dass das Buch mir aus meiner Reading slump geholfen hat und auch wenn ich viele der Charaktere am Ende echt nervig fand war es ein süßes kleines Buch, welches man gut zwischen durch lesen konnte!!

Viel interessantes konnte ich aus dem Buch nicht mitnehmen, aber muss ja auch nicht immer.
Trotzdem hier mein Lieblings Quote:

„She’s taught me communicating doesn’t mean everything is perfect, it doesn’t mean we don’t disagree. It means we work through the imperfect bit together, and if we don’t agree, we at least know why the other feels that way, even if it’s not going to change our minds. We’re still individuals, but we’re individuals together, and I never knew relationships could be like this“

I’m not one for romance novels, and although this is a fucking spicy-ass book, the romance is the sweetest thing! I squealed more times than I can count, and like it’s not the best written, think YA, but that doesn’t detract from how wonderful the romance is.

It’s cheesy enough, very 00s romcom, that it’s a nice change of pace from how heavy and dark some of what I’ve read this year has been, and the two main characters are so adorable together.

It feels like the warming tipsy feeling you get after a couple of glasses of wine.

It was really cute and had such a good showing on how to have a healthy relationship! Not just romantically either. I liked all the characters developments…the ones that had any anyway lol. But it was so nice to have a story along with the sexy parts, and a good story at that.

Spoiler for towards end of book!!!
<Personally, I’m really conflicted on the whole frozen lake scene. I’m glad it got her to admit first, which is something I was hoping for, but also…why?? It felt so rushed and passed on compared to other parts of the book. >

I had a good time with this book for the first like…250 pages, and that was mostly because of the smut.

But I have a lot of gripes.

The timeline and movement of the relationship between Nate and Stassie was a damn rollercoaster and I wish the sexual tension/friendship had been built more before they started fucking, it felt like it moved VERY quickly in the beginning and then hit a stagnation for like…the rest of the book.

We love a girl in therapy and no one likes a miscommunication trope but like…no two 21 year olds are talking about their feelings THIS much, especially at first in an undefined situationship. Like, leave a little to the imagination for better characters, and you’ll ones who actually have flaws and don’t narrate the exact personality and character traits of each other. Some things are better implied and the dual POV already gives us insight into both of them so not everything needs to be repeated.

I think so much of the narrative was just over explaining things whether it was feelings or family situations or friend situations or eating plans or whatever - the book could’ve been shortened by 200 pages if there was significantly less telling and more showing.

What was with the like motif of pregnancy?? It popped up several times for various characters and was kind of weird.

There were so many side characters of hockey players and other friends and coaches and directors I totally lost track of who was who.
