<b>Nice</b>
- <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/guys-on-the-side-looking-beyond-gay-tops-and-bottoms_b_3082484>side</a> rep . also v sexy
- 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>.

I went into this book basically blind and like by 10 minutes in I'm:
[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.

This book was a surprisingly pleasant read. I didn't think I'd ever read a Hockey Romance and actually enjoy it, but here we are. I couldn't put the book down, and that's primarily to do with the loveable characters. Now, the plot of the book itself is a bit bland. However, the characters are what make it what it is. They each carry enough backstory and interest that they can hold their own and leave you wanting to know more about them.
