The things I didn't like: 
- This books reads like no editor was involved in the publishing process. There's some formatting things that bothered me, like internal monolog being in quotes like 'this', instead of italics, and just an awful amount of ALL CAPS USED when a character is speaking.
- There were a lot of things characters said that I cringed at, like calling each other "dopey" and "douchey", using "hoes" as a term of affection, calling their house "Babe Cave", and their motto for the year, "no ragrets". One of the characters greets her brother with "brother dearest" and "brother". That, combined with some descriptions of clothing and music gave the book the feeling of being published in the mid 2010s, not 2021. 
- A few side characters suffered at the hand of the author onl  knew how to give them any personality by assignin  them a nationality, and have them sprinkle in phrases from a different language. 
- The characters are supposed to be uni students, yet too many of them talk like they're housewives in their 50s. 
- And this was only a small paragraph but the land acknowledgment and acknowledgment of the origins of lacrosse was awkward, poorly done, and ridiculously self congratulatory. 
- I know the spicy scenes are why a lot of people like this book, and while they were spicy, I was still cringing at the awkward dialog between and characters as well as the way they would talk about each other'  bodies.  (And very minor spoiler, but why tf would you ever buy someone pink tulips and say it's because the pink reminded you of their vulva?!? What!?!? 💀😭) 

The things I was okay with/kinda liked: 
- the plot wasn't actually too bad, and I think if this book had a solid editor and a few more rewrites it could be made into a good story 
- the setting of Halifax/Canada was nice to see 
- the descriptions of lacrosse being played seemed pretty realistic

The whole thing read like fanfic written in 2015, so if that's something you can put up with, have at it! It wasn't for me.
