A review by cheesie
Collide by Bal Khabra

funny lighthearted fast-paced
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
saurrrr cute ngl it gave exactly what i needed right now! all the characters were likable and it was similar to other college hockey romances like off campus and icebreaker without being a carbon copy. i am so proud of bal! 

pros:
- great smut at a good pace
- good and believable backstories
- my bff kian ishida
- no unnecessary final act breakup!

cons:
- i simply don’t think they needed the breakin plot when they already had a photo but the plot was plotting
- the cleanliness levels of a ferris wheel are questionable to low
- none of these students in college romances seem to ever have jobs 😭 but aiden has his sponsorships so that counts
