ABIGAIL DARLINGTON IS AWKWARD… She will never be “that” girl. You know the one: that girl on campus, confident in her own skin. Always saying the right things. Putting herself out there. Knows how to talk to a guy without stammering. Nope. Shy but clever, and easily embarrassed, Abby is fine being the wallflower in her circle of outgoing, beautiful friends; she would rather read about a sexy book boyfriend than actually have a live, breathing one. …BUT CALEB LOCKHART IS WORSE. Star goaltender for the University’s hockey team, Caleb is quiet and broody, preferring the solitude of his orderly, regimented life. He doesn’t like, or need people—and plans to keep it that way. One more year left of hockey and he’ll be long gone. AWKWARD NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD. Both their lives change the day that Abigail falls for Caleb. Well, falls directly on top of him, to be accurate. Because sometimes we don’t settle into love. We fall there. WARNING: This book contains cursing, and LOTS of it. It also has sex, uncomfortable sexual situations, and secondary characters who say some really inappropriate shit. RATING: R
Publication Year: 2018

I loved that both of the main characters were awkward. You don’t have the “typical” man whore athlete. Caleb is grumpy and not so friendly but he’s just not an outgoing guy. He plays hockey and lives in the “hockey house” but he isn’t hooking up every night. I love that he was self conscious about the gap in his smile.
Abbie is quirky perfectness. She stutters and stammers, laughs when she’s nervous or embarrassed and has no idea what to do with a boy who’s interested in her.
The two of them trying to hold hands was so adorable. I would have murdered their friends but the romance was adorable.
