Descrizione
Better Than the Movies.
From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable as kids. Until Dani moved away. Years later, Dani is back in Minnesota, and exited to reconnect with the nerdy and comforting Alec. But teenage Alec is NOTHING like the boy she remembers. He's the hockey STAR in a town where hockey players are worshipped as gods – and he loves it.
When one thing leads to another and Dani and Alec find themselves thrown together and playing the role of boyfriend and girlfriend, “complicated” becomes an understatement. In this Minnesota town, hockey may rule, but romance is about to take its place.

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.
