TRIPP The worst part of being in love with my straight best friend is the fact he's too oblivious to see it. Years of pining have left me exhausted, and I need a break from Dex. I need space to get over my feelings. But when his relationship falls apart and he turns to me for comfort, I cave immediately. If there's one thing I hate more than being hurt, it's seeing Dex struggle. I can't leave him in a time of need, even if my friends say it's my biggest downfall. They say Dexter Mitchale is my weakness, but if that's true, I don't want to be strong. DEX I've always been the dumb one. It's what I'm known for, and usually I don't let it get to me. I have hockey, and I have my best friend, Tripp. What more do I need? To settle down? No thank you. Marriage? Hard pass. According to ex-girlfriends, that makes me "irresponsible." But the solution I come up with to get over my fear of commitment might be my dumbest idea yet. Not only does it have team management breathing down my neck, but it puts a strain on my friendship with Tripp. This PR nightmare could lose me the only person I've ever loved. Losing girlfriends is nothing. Losing Tripp? It's not an option. I'll do whatever it takes to keep him.

Irresponsible Puckboy (Puckboys 2), by Saxon James and Eden Finley (2022)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: In this friends-to-lovers romance, a clueless but lovable player realizes he may have more-than-friendly feelings for his best friend, who‘s been crushing on him since they met.

Review: This really shouldn‘t have worked; the inciting incident is ridiculous, and all my usual concerns about hockey romances apply. But, it was so much fun. Cont.

Mattsbookaday The relationship between the two characters was delightful, and I couldn‘t help but fall for the golden-retriever-like not-so-straight character. I also appreciated that the conflict was grounded in the dymamics of being queer athletes without relying on a coming out or gay panic plot. All in all this was a lot of fun.
