so-soThis is written like fanfiction and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. Fanfiction assumes knowledge of the material, the characters, and this is like that.
Nothing is explained or described because the assumption is that you already know. There's no sense of place.The author says this wasn't based on hockey RPF but it reads like it was.

Reading these books at the same time is starting to confuse me.
Going to focus on Icebreaker since it's due back in less than a week.

I‘m “allergic” to chunksters, so I tend to avoid them. But there are SO many great books that are chunksters! So, #AllergicToChunksters is back for another year! If you would like to tackle a few chunksters yourself this year, do join me!
My definition of a chunkster is any book over 500 pages long, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you. If it scares you, it counts!
pickI was probably going to like this book no matter what, given its focus on Wisconsin, football, and Amish folks. But it also happened to be a beautifully written story (by an author who lives in the same county I grew up in!) with some characters that will stay with me. Love finding an addition to my own “Top Books of the Year“ list in late December. ❤️

Thank you @TheBookHippie for always radiating the light.
The afterglow of today‘s sunrise.
so-soThis is a very simplistic book, both in writing and in content. There were many missed opportunities to make the story and characters more complex and nuanced
I would have been more invested if the relationship was longer. It was instalove and they dated for two months before going into crisis
The miscommunication was painful. Just talk!

The problem with this being based on a Stucky fanfic is that I'm gonna be disappointed when one of them isn't an amnesiac assassin
Also, has AO3 broken my smut metre? Because this is not smutty
