#sure did just read a novel all about hockey without knowing like anything about hockey lol #the cover/tagline makes this sound very romance-focused but there's also a lot about mental health and familial pressure #ngl wouldn't have minded if it was a bit longer in the second half #mostly because I wanted to see more of his sister and her two boyfriends bc they seemed neat #and some of the family stuff seemed a tiny bit rushed at the end #but we do love a disaster bi short king #icebreaker #lulu speaks #lulu reads icebreaker #al graziadei #pride reading 2022
