Strange Love An 80s Fake Dating Hockey Romance by Steffanie Blais was so different than anything I’ve read before and I loved it.  If you love fake dating,  hockey, opposites attract, tragic past, first love, dual POV’s 80’s romance then you will love this book. 


I enjoyed the 80’s nostalgia so much. Ivy’s story was so heartbreaking. I loved watching her overcome what she went through, making decisions on what she was needing, and growing into a stronger version of herself. I love Corey! He was so patient and saw in Ivy what no one else (including herself) saw.  The side characters were so well written. I loved that the chapters were named after popular 80’s songs. I cannot rave about this book enough. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest thoughts and opinions. I loved it and can’t wait for the next book Tainted Love!!
