    Thoughts from 35% (page 138) : conflicted

    I don't know about this... It's funny (like I've chuckled a few times, which I rarely do) and it basically reads itself, but I can't get over the fact that none of the two main characters have ANY backstory? Hope it changes because all the humour and the Magick in the world won't make me care for basically a morally-compromised attractive douche and an uptight arrogant brainiac falling in love, no sir.

    So I might sound naive in my review but I wanted to read a hockey romance to see what the hype was all about, and this book left me hanging. First of all, there's a concerning lack of sport?? I get that it's a romance and it takes place over a period of ten years but hockey is barely mentioned at all. Also it could have been any other freaking competitive sport. Second, again that might be a given for a romance, but while other characters were mentioned, I didn't care about any of them, to the point that I don't remember any names aside from the main characters. I do remember the token best friend, who is kind of dumb and has a thousand kids. This also rubbed me the wrong way because when he announces that they're pregnant again, he follows with "she's fucking bored, right?". I mean, excuse you????? Some aspects were interesting but felt rushed, poorly researched and way overhyped in the reviews I read, such as the internalized homophobia, treatment of LGBTQIA individuals in Russia, coming out as an athlete, etc. TBH I read fanfiction that was better.
