This was a really charming story. I really loved the focus on the friendships in this book, which is not something you always get in romance books. I honestly don't have that much else to say about it, though—the book is cute, the romance is adorable, the friendships are wholesome. But, contrary to the title, I wasn't caught off guard at any point during my read. It was predictable, but that's not always a bad thing. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed my time with this book.

If any of that sounds like something you'd enjoy, especially with hockey on top of it, then you should read it. It's worth it.
