I really enjoyed this. Compared to the other sport romances that I have read. I like the innocence of this, because the relationship had vulnerabilities but they were talked through and the main characters could move on with their life. There was no conflict where they broke up and had to get over themselves just to communicate again, which I enjoyed. I also think that it brought up some important relationship points, such as needed to communicate with your partner, especially when there are doubts. The way that Foster was able to shift his dream to include Zach was amazing to witness because all Foster wanted from hockey and when he realized that he could never be happy with just hockey it made their relationship stronger. I also liked the fact that while Zach is assumed to be the smart on in the relationship strictly because he graduated a year early, there are still some things that will never make sense unless the right person explains them to you and that was really powerful, because Foster helped Zach understand something that not only applied to what the class was learning, but to their own relationship.
