Love any Lynn painter book. Ending had me in happy tears
“Call me later?”“Try and stop me, Collins.” Has the same vibes as “In your dreams”“Every damn night, Buxbaum” [a:Lynn Painter, Better than the movies|57045711|Lynn Painter, Better than the movies|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]And I am LIVING for it.The book was so adorable, and I couldn't get enough of it (I ended up reading it through all my breaks and on the commute home). I absolutely love Dani and Alec; such adorable dorks, honestly. Dani's social anxiety, her sarcasm, and the way she cares so much but is kind of scared it's selfish make her so relatable. I also love how she slowly comes out of her shell as the book progresses. Alec was honestly my favorite. Yeah, he was a jock, but he wasn't some macho, testosterone-oozing love interest. Instead, he was so open, very expressive, and didn't shy away from being vulnerable. He was a dork with the biggest crush on his childhood sweetheart/ex-best friend, but then he got all serious about the game and everything that was on the line. I like that he wasn't all nonchalant and was 100% ok with being whipped. The side characters were pretty well written too, but I wish we could have had more time with them, cause I'll be honest, if it weren't for their descriptions, I would've kept confusing Kyle, Vinny & Richie cause they seemed almost similar. I also loved the feeling of oneness that came with the town and hockey. It lowkey made me yearn for something like that. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a quick read or something to get them out of a reading slump.
