This was a really sweet hurt/comfort story but I wish it had been longer!
The whole book is them really getting to know each other and coming to terms with the fact that neither of their lives are going how they planned for, so when it just ended with the end of the initial month that Jordan was staying with Oliver I did feel disappointed.
I wanted to see the next steps they took, I wanted to see them introduce each other to their families and friends, I wanted to see the reaction to Oliver's retirement! I kind of felt a little cheated out of the big moment between these two

i enjoyed a different form of "hockey romance" than perhaps the typical book with the tail end of career/the rougher aspects of the sport on mental health as well as some of the difficulty of being a journalist covering sports. i think this is my favorite of the series so far

This was a very world-of-two romance, with the two MCs basically not seeing anyone for the first month of writing the memoir. I really enjoyed reading about an athlete whose career didn't go as expected. Oliver's body betraying him at an age where you expect to be able to do anything was hard to watch. Jordan is very understanding throughout the story.
The books ends a bit abruptly. I think it needed more development about what has happened after the first month.
