I read this to experiment with the whole 'hockey romance' trend, but I was very impressed with the writing and the character development. Both characters had complex emotional lives independent of their relationship with each other.
It was a little disappointed with nature of the third act conflict, but all the characters told them how stupid they were being, which helped.
