I really enjoyed this book and the timeline of everything. Although these hockey players seem to sleep around a lot, I feel like this captures a whirlwind college romance: the spontaneity, the love, etc.

Ich LIEBE Logan, aber das Buch? Meh….
Irgendwie ging alles viel zu schnell, aber themen die mich persönlich nicht interessiert haben, haben dich lange rausgezögert.

“The smell serves as a depressing reminder of my childhood. So does the taste of bourbon, Dad’s backup beverage once he runs out of beer.”

Ich fand’s schön, dass es Elle Kennedy geschafft hat tiefe Themen in einer so leichten romanze einzubauen! Hätte mir aber wie gesagt mehr Dynamik und einen größeren climax gewünscht.
Ich meine komm schon, der Typ verliebt sich in den ersten 3 Seiten des Buches in sie? Booooring.

“Urine and alcohol, the fragrance of my childhood.”

Aber an sich ein ganz nettes Buch. Ich glaube mich frustriert es nur, dass ich mir mir Logan’s story einfach mehr gewünscht hätte…

Decent plot and characters. There was a lot of buildup for not much couple-y content or a satisfying climax of the story.

Nothing will ever top The Deal but this book so good. Logan is so lovable and Grace is a great character

This was soooooo cute. I found The Deal very average, but this was frickin’ adorable. I loved Grace. I loved Logan. Their story together was so cute and I appreciated that the plot took a different course than the first book (and no third act break-up! yay!).
I have one tiny issue which was Grace’s OCD, or lack thereof. I think she’s supposed to actually have OCD? But it only manifests in ~sometimes~ needing to tidy her roommate’s mess, which is so stereotypical and wrong I actually can’t. I just wish it wasn’t included at all.
Also, the whole Ramona storyline was just completely dropped after they rescued her? They needed like one more wrap-up scene for that friendship.
