Best friends to lovers + idiots to lovers + hockey boys? Oh hell yeah! 😍

Shaw and Burkie have my heart 🥰 They were the actual BEST FRIENDS and I love how solid a base that laid for their relationship.

I loved Let's Do This, it was such a great read. Minimal angst, maximum best friendship and hotness. I adored these two together, their chemistry and friendship were both on point and it felt so natural to have them transition into friends with benefits, and boyfriends.

I liked how Burkie was usually stressing in his head about whether it would be weird for him to say something (wanting to try specific things in the bedroom, wanting more with Shaw, etc) and Shaw did the same for like 30 secs but then just blurted out whatever he was thinking, making it easy for Burk to speak his mind too 😂

I loved the team dynamics, too, though hockey wasn't exactly at the forefront of the book. At times, it did feel like I'd stumbled into an established universe where I was missing references but since there's only one prior book in this setting, maybe it was setting up future charactersto get their own books.

I initially started listening to the audiobook because I like both the narrators, but for some reason it didn't work for me. Once I switched to the physical book, my reading experience immensely improved, and if I reread it, I'll for sure be doing it entirely in the ebook/physical version.
