I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and was a fun read. I loved getting to know Foster and Zach and watching them come together. This one was interesting with the play on the brother/twin's best friend. Foster and his twin are not identical and they go to different colleges. Foster is a great hockey player and it is his senior year. He is bi and has really not hidden it from his teammates or anyone at college but has not told his parents or made it this huge deal. Zach has transferred colleges for his master's and he can be socially awkward and Seth, Foster's brother, asks him to look out for Zach. Foster was always intrigued and interested in Zach since Zach and Seth become best friends freshman year of college but he was warned off by his brother. Now as they start spending time together and getting to know each other more that is definitely taking off for them both. I enjoyed the way that Foster and Zach worked on their relationship and communication. I loved how open Foster was for this becoming more with Zach. I thought he did a really good job with how he interacted and didn't pressure Zach. He was just cute and adorable and I loved them together. They had to figure out how to work together and what they wanted for their future and then how to achieve that. I really enjoyed getting to know the other characters on the team as well and am excited for the next books!
The narrators did a great job with the story!
