First, I was very pleasantly surprised at the diversity in this book, though mentioning all the characters like that did make it feel somewhat forced or like in your face about it. 

I liked the forced proximity of the skating rink but Stassie made choices that led her to run into Nate. Their first scene was everything! Anastasia’s comment about men on their knees and Nate “I care about consent”  HOT! But  all of their scenes were. 

I loved the group of hockey boys and more as the book went on, they’re all so lovable! Henry is a fav of course. Kinda sad that he never got a girl despite his efforts. JJ with his manipulative ass when he wanted his flowers, I could not! That was so precious! Sabrina and Robbie were insanely cute too! 

The end kind of slowed down once they were together but the competition made it interesting again. 

I didn’t really like the epilogue when she felt pregnant, but it kind of sweet. I would prefer to see each of them accomplishing their dreams, the gold medal and the champion cup instead of the post.
