This was a cute and funny read. Even with the fun and cute parts, it still felt very heavy at time because of the parental abandonment, miscarriage, mental illness, fatphobia, some self-deprecation due to childhood abandonment, mention of and ptsd as a result of school shooting, and mention of sexual assault/contact between and adult and minor (actual act happens off page but it is mentioned towards the end of the book). 

I really loved seeing Black hockey players and Alexandria House’s characters always have me cracking up. Nuri and Maleek definitely had chemistry, a lot more than him and his gf at the beginning of the book. That girl got on my nerves! She could not take a hint. It was great seeing Maleek confront his feelings about his father through getting to know his siblings. As expected, Nuri and Maleek were always out here doing grown folk things lol. My only thing was that at times the pacing felt rushed and it felt like a LOT of trauma crammed into one book. Definitely still enjoyed it though. Just not my fave from her.
