It wasn’t until I finally picked this book up off my tbr shelf that I realized how much I’d enjoy a hockey romance! I literally did not want to put this book down and can we all agree that Garrett Graham is absolute perfection? Elle Kennedy knew what she was doing when she wrote this book and now I’ll be ordering the rest of the series!

This book was weird. I didn’t really like it at all, but it was tough to put down in the same way a really bad Wattpad book can be. I feel like this is one of those books that passed from Wattpad into the real publishing world and I’m not sure it should have. An I’m-not-like-other-girls romance, this book spoke about topics like sexual assault and domestic violence, but in all the wrong way. 
I don’t have much else to say about this book other than I found the characters pretty one dimensional and boring.

ok to be totally up front, i read this book bc bryce harper mentioned it in a gq interview and the more i thought about it the more i had to know what that was about. and now that i've read it i have no idea what to do with any of this information.

anyway i haven't read a straight college romance before and this is probably the last time i do that
