Gigi and Ryder
Entertaining palette cleanser. A mix of rivalry-adjacent banter, plot, sport, intimacy, emotions and 🌶️.
I’ll happily read more from this writer’s ice hockey college romances.
I disliked some of the writing choices, including the uneven pacing of dialogue and of plotting. Some of the sex scenes dragged, and others didn’t stick the landing. The exhibitionism was appealing but it felt tokenistic rather than sincere. Plot wise, I was frustrated by not seeing a challenge to fairlee’s bias and handling of the team USA roster.
