Wake Up, Nat & Darcy by Kate Cochrane
3.0
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

i was so excited for this book. hockey romances are my thing, and we need more sapphic hockey romances (and romances in general). but it fell short. 

nat is insufferable and needs therapy more than she needs a relationship. and maybe a job?? darcy needs to realize her privilege and use it to her advantage more. 
the relationship is so toxic, i can’t see it lasting the eight months before the epilogue, let alone life together.
