Normally I'm turned off by YA books that take place during the first year of college, but this one won me over! It helps that it reminds me of Check Please!, a graphic novel I loved.
Mickey James III is in his freshman year of college. He's got focus--follow in his dad and grandfather's footsteps and get drafted as the number one pick in the NHL. He didn't plan on his main competition, Jaysen Caulfield, to also be at Hartland University and on the same hockey team. And also so cute. This enemies to lovers story is so much fun.
