Maple Hills #1
Icebreaker
Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills, and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team.
Nothing will stand in her way, not even the captain of the hockey team, Nate Hawkins.
Nate鈥檚 focus as team captain is on keeping his team on the ice. Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team鈥攊ncluding Anastasia, who clearly can鈥檛 stand him.
But when Anastasia鈥檚 skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot.
Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn鈥檛 worried . . . because she could never like a hockey player, right?

edit: i read the bonus chapter. why? i have no idea. but they weren鈥檛 as bad as this book so that鈥檚 something!
if you are going to make a book that is sex driven at least make the smut good.
i鈥檓 embarrassed to say i was excited to read this book. am i being dramatic? maybe. but listen: i genuinely tried liking this book. i put up with the boring first few chapters. but wow!! all of a sudden it picks up! is that supposed to make me like it more? who knows. i have too much self respect to continue reading this series, even if it does get 鈥渂etter,鈥� so this is the first and last book i鈥檓 reading of hannah grace鈥檚. from the very beginning, i didn鈥檛 like the main character that much. she gave me pick me vibes and it鈥檚 clear the author tries to make her different from other fmc鈥檚. while i appreciate this effort, i could not bring myself to like her.
one thing i did like? ryan! they had a dynamic that i loved and they cared abt each other in a way that wasn鈥檛 overbearing. not to mention the way anastasia was supportive of his relationship with olivia! i have to admit it was a nice change and it was completely understandable. i found his character to be so sweet and i wish we got more of his and anastasia鈥檚 friendship. i also liked sasha & anastasia鈥檚 friendship despite the embarrassing things that happened when they first met. i am never getting over it.
my main problem with the main character: she tried too hard to be grumpy. she was also super overdramatic and she swore to hate hockey players bc of a typical stereotype but one interaction and she realizes she starts to like them. the next thing she does is complain bc she was only willing to like henry. it was infuriating and annoying with how she tried hating all the hockey players. her inner dialogue was so hard to put up with because of the way she simply talked. she was WAY too stubborn for my liking and i did not like it at all. i鈥檓 so glad she gave up that behavior bc i wouldn鈥檛 have been able to stand the book if it continued like that.
i thought there were times where i did seem to understand anastasia. she reminded me of monica geller with the way she was described! from her competitive nature to the way she was 鈥渃ompulsively organized鈥�. it鈥檚 also clear how she cares a lot about the people she loves. however they differed in many different ways with how 鈥済rumpy鈥� she is and her demeanor around new people.
a small spoiler for this quote possibly!!
鈥攖his was one of the many examples within this book that shows there鈥檚 no plot, it鈥檚 just sex driven.
overall, this book was so slow. it might seem fast paced with the events, but it slowly eased into a normal routine of them fucking every other chapter. it becomes so boring to read the same damn thing every time. it throws you off at the beginning just as an excuse to slow down the plot and focus on them doing it. however this book was great with keeping everything consistent. the amount of pages for each chapter stayed relatively the same and they didn鈥檛 favor one pov over another!
if u saw my reaction while i read this book, you鈥檇 be familiar with these quotes.
mid way this book became entertaining. not for the plot, which remained boring and gave us nothing. but i genuinely laughed out loud bc of how cringy the writing was sometimes & how it gave off wattpad vibes. the writing itself was entertaining. there was so much smut and usually i don鈥檛 mind but there was unnecessarily too much in this book. what was the purpose?? i was going to give this book 3 stars at this point. things were looking up and my rating slowly increased. i also liked the banter between the characters! it was pretty enjoyable on my part so there鈥檚 that
usually books that bring comfort involve the found family trope, but it鈥檚 not as present in this book mainly bc it focuses on friendships between the boys and anastasia, but even then it鈥檚 barely talked about there. plus, the main focus was the relationship between nate & anastasia, which in of itself is all abt sex. my favorite part is definitely the cooking lessons that jj and anastasia had together. cutest!!
context: literally just gray sweatpants
i hate nathan with a burning passion. this is the rare occasion where i WANTED a third act conflict. i usually hate them but they needed it!! he was below the bare minimum. i truly have no idea how anastasia put up with him. she likes a man who wears gray sweatpants and claims he is written by a woman. i wear gray sweatpants!! does that make me written by a woman? i would hope so but that鈥檚 besides the point. not every person who wears sweatpants immediately makes them written by a woman!
spoilers from this point on
these quotes single handedly ruined this book for me and made me hate nathan.
nathan desperately needs therapy. i鈥檓 surprised she put up with the attitude that he showed her. i wanted him to be able to work out his feelings on his own so she would never have to put up with a man who cannot communicate his feelings bc communication is key!! instead they got pissed at each other and would put off arguements. then they don鈥檛 see each other for a few days and everything is fixed! i do appreciate the boys knocking some sense into him.
speaking of the boys: i don鈥檛 see why people like henry. he made a LOT of backhanded comments to everyone and whether or not he can tell if it鈥檚 mean, i鈥檓 surprised they put up with him for so long. i do see that he cares for anastasia but from the beginning he was so blunt. there was ONE scene of henry being kind. he wasn鈥檛 even funny! he just had no filter and just cannot control his honesty. if he was able to control his honesty, i鈥檇 probably like him better.
this book was so fast paced for the characters. this all happened within the span of 3 months. 3 MONTHS. i get that the idea of the story is supposed to be that they don鈥檛 have any miscommunications and have a 鈥渉ealthy鈥� relationship but i鈥檝e found some problems within this situation. they move way too quickly and the way they address it as 鈥渨e鈥檝e spent so much time together so we鈥檙e built different鈥� does not work for me. don鈥檛 get me wrong, they had their cute moments but it wasn鈥檛 enough to suffice for me.
they don鈥檛 fight when they鈥檙e 鈥渇renemies鈥� which i do appreciate but it鈥檚 obvious they wanted different things from the beginning. despite nathan knowing what anastasia wanted, they still got jealous whenever one hung out with another person and they didn鈥檛 address it. i feel like they sugarcoated everything and it鈥檚 clear anastasia doesn鈥檛 think on it much simply because she does not know how he feels. i鈥檝e never met a man who鈥檚 happy to be her friend rather than upset that she just wants to be friends.
here鈥檚 where the book gets confusing: they are obviously involved with one another but not exactly in a relationship type way. they don鈥檛 even get together until chapter 30. i honestly stopped caring for their relationship bc i was that done with this book. i thought nathan was desperate and i just did not like them together all that much. sure, they can be cute but their whole relationship and personality revolves around fucking one another and when they were away all they would think abt is alone time between them.
the supposed 鈥減lot鈥� on the back doesn鈥檛 happen until mid way. sure, the ice rink breaks as soon as u jump into the book abt 2 chapters in but the second plot point took too long to happen. i wish it would鈥檝e happened sooner to let the book pick up quicker and become shorter. also i loathe aaron in this book. do i really need to talk abt him? i鈥檓 pretty sure everyone hates him.
i personally would not forgive nathan for what he said at the end. that might just be me being petty but i don鈥檛 want to take shit from a man!! i鈥檇 deserve better than someone who can鈥檛 work out their feelings bc i got my own bullshit to deal with. sometimes i couldn鈥檛 see the reasoning behind the things the characters did bc of the way they justified it. sometimes justification works but not in this case!
TW WITHIN THIS BOOK: EATING DISORDER
i want to address the eating disorder that is part of the plot within the book but i also don鈥檛 want to be insensitive just in case. i just want to say i鈥檓 glad it was addressed and talk about! i didn鈥檛 like how late they addressed it into the book tho
one more thing: i鈥檓 convinced them 鈥減laying house鈥� is another way of them boning and making it their entire personality for the entirety of a few hours. this book really pushed my limits. it also sounds like something roleplay related

i had a nightmare i rated this book 5 stars. rtc

鈥漎ou are the most annoying man I鈥檝e ever met.鈥�
鈥滻 don鈥檛 care what you call me as long as I鈥檓 top of the list.鈥�
鈥淵ou have no idea, do you? The lengths I鈥檇 go to if you鈥檇 let me. What I鈥檇 do to make you happy.鈥�
鈥滻n a world where I feel like I could be swept away by the waves at any moment, he anchors me. I value that, value him.鈥�
鈥淵ou鈥檙e worth defending. Every cut, bruise, every single pang of anger or frustration. It鈥檚 all worth it. I鈥檇 throw my last punch defending you because you deserve to have someone be that person for you, and there鈥檚 no one more qualified for the job than me.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 going to teach you how to be nice.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 sure there are plenty of things you can teach me, Nathan, but being nice isn鈥檛 one of them. I鈥檓 a delight.鈥�

鈥淚t felt good hearing him make plans for the future, and I could pretend I don鈥檛 know why, but denial is useless at this point. Everything he says makes me melt, and half the time I don鈥檛 know how to react, so I kiss him, then things escalate, and before I know it, I鈥檓 screaming his name and seeing stars.鈥�

鈥淚 swear to God I will leave you in this airport,鈥� Nate grumbles, slapping my ass, laughing when the noise causes an elderly couple to turn around and look at us, making my cheeks blush.鈥�

鈥淗e鈥檚 in a Maple Hills Titans T-shirt and gray sweats, and I hate myself for being a woman swayed by a man in gray sweatpants. Shit. No, there will be no swaying.鈥�
鈥滸ray, obviously, because Nathan Hawkins is a man who was most definitely written by a woman.鈥�
i hate nathan with a burning passion. this is the rare occasion where i WANTED a third act conflict. i usually hate them but they needed it!! he was below the bare minimum. i truly have no idea how anastasia put up with him. she likes a man who wears gray sweatpants and claims he is written by a woman. i wear gray sweatpants!! does that make me written by a woman? i would hope so but that鈥檚 besides the point. not every person who wears sweatpants immediately makes them written by a woman!

鈥淵ou think he鈥檚 going to manipulate her into forgiving him and then she won鈥檛 need you anymore. You like being needed by her. It makes you feel important. You know Aaron hates you and you think he鈥檚 going to keep her away from you. Which just shows you don鈥檛 know how strong she is, or truly understand how much she loves you.鈥�
鈥淚 shouldn鈥檛 have to scream that I鈥檓 not na茂ve or being manipulated for Nathan to trust my judgment. I shouldn鈥檛 have to beg him to understand that there is a difference between friendship and partnership.鈥�

鈥淭here鈥檚 a warm, full feeling in my heart when I鈥檓 around this team.

You know when you read a book and you feel like if you don鈥檛 read it in one sitting then you鈥檒l enjoy it less because the rush of the newness leaves and its appeal dies down?? Yeah, this was 饾棥饾棦饾棫 that.
This book was EVERYTHING. I MEAN 饾懍饾懡饾懍饾懝饾拃饾懟饾懐饾懓饾懙饾懏.
I鈥檝e highlighted so much. WAY TOO MUCH 馃檰鈥嶁檧锔�
I read this so slowly because I knew when it would be over I鈥檇 be a wreck. 饾棓饾棥饾棗 饾棞饾棫 饾棝饾棓饾棪 饾棩饾棬饾棞饾棥饾棙饾棗 饾棤饾棙 饾棛饾棦饾棩 饾棓饾棢饾棢 饾棩饾棦饾棤饾棓饾棥饾棖饾棙 饾棔饾棦饾棦饾棡饾棪. My standards are too high now. 馃
The writing was 饾槓饾様饾様饾槇饾槉饾槣饾槗饾槇饾槢饾槍锛� I can go on and on about how beautifully written this masterpiece was. The diversity in this book was amazing to see!
There was not a 饾棪饾棞饾棥饾棜饾棢饾棙 dry page. Not one. I drank every damn page like it was my only source of water.
This wasn鈥檛 the typical third-act conflict type of book. NOPE. It was riddled with ups and downs but you can鈥檛 help but feel everything with these characters. It had depth and was plain amazing till the freaking end. (饾樀饾槱饾槮 饾槮饾槺饾槳饾槶饾槹饾槰饾樁饾槮 饾樃饾槩饾槾 饾槰饾槹饾槼饾槰饾槮饾槹饾樁饾槾)

It had lots of my favourite tropes.
The found family trope in here was the cutest shit I鈥檝e read in ages. The communication between the MCs was like a balm to my soul bc after all of the miscommunication tropes, I thoroughly BASKED in it.
The small moments guys. 饾悡饾悋饾悇 饾悞饾悓饾悁饾悑饾悑 饾悓饾悗饾悓饾悇饾悕饾悡饾悞.
They gave me all the feels. The soft touches. Him randomly tucking her hair behind her ear. Her just staring at him bc he鈥檚 so damn hot. The forehead kisses. The way she calls him 鈥渂ub鈥� 馃き馃馃
There鈥檚 so much more where this came from I promise!

He actually had his own life in this book too. Sometimes dual povs just feel like one because they鈥檙e both living the same thing. But this book showed the distinction between their thought processes and how they鈥檙e actual individuals, not the same brain.
Gosh, 饾棓饾棥饾棓饾棪饾棫饾棓饾棪饾棞饾棓 饾棓饾棢饾棢饾棙饾棥 was so relatable. It was so hard seeing her go through all that shit but watching her grow stronger and healthier was so rewarding. I鈥檓 so proud of how she dealt with things.
I loved how she became amazing friends with the team and cared about them like family. I loved her for saying what she wanted and sticking to it too. I鈥檓 so glad she had a spine and stood up for herself when it mattered.
I鈥檓 genuinely so impressed this is a debut novel and I cannot WAIT to read more from Hannah Grace!!
Whew! I didn鈥檛 realise the review would be this long but here I am.
Ugh, it was amazing <3
This book has got to be the highlight of this year FOR SURE! 饾煭饾煬饾煬饾煬% 饾棩饾棙饾棖饾棦饾棤饾棤饾棙饾棥饾棗!!

You know when you read a book and you feel like if you don鈥檛 read it in one sitting then you鈥檒l enjoy it less because the rush of the newness leaves and its appeal dies down?? Yeah, this was 饾棥饾棦饾棫 that.
This book was EVERYTHING. I MEAN 饾懍饾懡饾懍饾懝饾拃饾懟饾懐饾懓饾懙饾懏.
I鈥檝e highlighted so much. WAY TOO MUCH 馃檰鈥嶁檧锔�
I read this so slowly because I knew when it would be over I鈥檇 be a wreck. 饾棓饾棥饾棗 饾棞饾棫 饾棝饾棓饾棪 饾棩饾棬饾棞饾棥饾棙饾棗 饾棤饾棙 饾棛饾棦饾棩 饾棓饾棢饾棢 饾棩饾棦饾棤饾棓饾棥饾棖饾棙 饾棔饾棦饾棦饾棡饾棪. My standards are too high now. 馃
The writing was 饾槓饾様饾様饾槇饾槉饾槣饾槗饾槇饾槢饾槍锛� I can go on and on about how beautifully written this masterpiece was. The diversity in this book was amazing to see!
There was not a 饾棪饾棞饾棥饾棜饾棢饾棙 dry page. Not one. I drank every damn page like it was my only source of water.
This wasn鈥檛 the typical third-act conflict type of book. NOPE. It was riddled with ups and downs but you can鈥檛 help but feel everything with these characters. It had depth and was plain amazing till the freaking end. (饾樀饾槱饾槮 饾槮饾槺饾槳饾槶饾槹饾槰饾樁饾槮 饾樃饾槩饾槾 饾槰饾槹饾槼饾槰饾槮饾槹饾樁饾槾)

It had lots of my favourite tropes.
The found family trope in here was the cutest shit I鈥檝e read in ages. The communication between the MCs was like a balm to my soul bc after all of the miscommunication tropes, I thoroughly BASKED in it.
The small moments guys. 饾悡饾悋饾悇 饾悞饾悓饾悁饾悑饾悑 饾悓饾悗饾悓饾悇饾悕饾悡饾悞.
They gave me all the feels. The soft touches. Him randomly tucking her hair behind her ear. Her just staring at him bc he鈥檚 so damn hot. The forehead kisses. The way she calls him 鈥渂ub鈥� 馃き馃馃
There鈥檚 so much more where this came from I promise!

He actually had his own life in this book too. Sometimes dual povs just feel like one because they鈥檙e both living the same thing. But this book showed the distinction between their thought processes and how they鈥檙e actual individuals, not the same brain.
Gosh, 饾棓饾棥饾棓饾棪饾棫饾棓饾棪饾棞饾棓 饾棓饾棢饾棢饾棙饾棥 was so relatable. It was so hard seeing her go through all that shit but watching her grow stronger and healthier was so rewarding. I鈥檓 so proud of how she dealt with things.
I loved how she became amazing friends with the team and cared about them like family. I loved her for saying what she wanted and sticking to it too. I鈥檓 so glad she had a spine and stood up for herself when it mattered.
I鈥檓 genuinely so impressed this is a debut novel and I cannot WAIT to read more from Hannah Grace!!
Whew! I didn鈥檛 realise the review would be this long but here I am.
Ugh, it was amazing <3

I don鈥檛 understand how people can rate this book with 4 or 5 stars. I haven鈥檛 read something so unentertaining in a long time and only wasted my time for ten long hours.
The book was way too long and too much. Too much drama, too much plot, too much was happening. I was half way into it when I already forgot what happened before because it.was.just.to.much, of everything. I wanted to dnf this book 10% into it, because it was so boring, but I never dnf a book before so I wanted to keep going. But it was just awful. I couldn鈥檛 wait until I finally (FINALLY) got to the end. (Have to confess I also skipped a few parts, mainly Anastasias chapters, halfway through the book because these awful, boring scenes weren鈥檛 bearable anymore after a few hours into it.)
Aaron was a walking red flag since his introduction. I didn鈥檛 like him for a second (he gave me major bipolar disorder vibes with his mood swings). His character was awful und I didn鈥檛 enjoy a second of him being in this book. I understand that he was the main villain, but he shouldn鈥檛 have so much scene time. The main part of this book was for me hating him and I couldn鈥檛 enjoy anything beside because the next second he was back again and my mood fell. I don鈥檛 understand how people could keep up with him for so long, he clearly was a bad person (even if dumb Anastasia says other wise).
Sabrine I liked just fine, but it鈥檚 doesn鈥檛 sit right with me reading about her behaviors while she is representing a muslim girl (or I suspect she is muslim because most of Algerians are), but I don鈥檛 know if she is for sure.
Beside her there were too many side characters, I can鈥檛 even remember everyone who was there and why they were there.
It鈥檚 shocking but the one person I disliked more than Aaron was Anastasia herself. Her whole character was so so so unlikable for me. Her freak-outs, how bad she treated Nathan even though he was always nice to her. The on, off, cold, hot she gave him and how she only liked him when she was drunk was annoying and irritating. Sometimes she acted like the biggest child and I hate how no one stood up to her and beat her in place, because she was such a mean person sometimes to the people around her (mainly Nathan who she always attacks without even knowing if he done anything wrong). She deserved to end up losing everything she worked towards. These 鈥瀏etting under his skin鈥� actions were unnecessary and childish. It was not funny at all and I hate Nathan for playing along with her every time she fucked him over again.
It鈥檚 paradox how she is portrayed as a dominant, strong willed character with everyone else, but she lets Aaron walk over her over and over again till the last 2 chapters.
I really hated her for every second she was present in this book more than I hated Aaron.
What was Ryan鈥檚 purpose? He was a major part for the first half of the book but in the end he wasn鈥檛 even mention. Like he didn鈥檛 exist and the author just forgot he was there once. But he also is a person I didn鈥榯 like. He was nice and all but he was interested in Olivia, wants more while laying half naked in a bed with another woman ? Kuddling her ? I wouldn鈥檛 want to talk to a boy who is seeing other girls beside me, let alone doing sleepovers with his ex-fuck-buddy.
The only part of this book I liked was Nathan鈥檚 character. He was cute and polite, respectful, a green flag boy the whole time (even when he was mad that is girlfriend was fucked over and blinded by another man, as he should). He was attentive and always courteous. He cared for others more than he cared for himself. He took care of Anastasia, of his team, his sister. He was totally a golden retriever with a heart of gold. I wish he hadn鈥檛 ended up with Anastasia. He clearly deserves something so much better than her. Someone who loves him as equal as he loves, and Anastasia鈥檚 wasn鈥檛 that. She was just awful to him, treats him poorly and didn鈥檛 deserve him or his kindness.
This one star is for Nathan and Nathan only.

To sum up my thoughts very quickly鈥� there was too much going on and yet somehow there was also absolutely nothing going on - so out of a weird mix of annoyance and boredom, I DNFd it at 50%
But in case your interested in details鈥�
I should have realized right away that I wasn鈥檛 gonna like this book when I had a really hard time digesting the writing. There was something about it that wasn鈥檛 flowing smoothly from the pages into my brain and therefore I was reading it really slowly and found myself putting it down a lot (which is a very bad sign)
Then there was also so much info-dumping for all the side characters. It felt like she already pre-planned out a multi book companion series and was trying too hard to get us invested in all of the side characters by giving them each so much detail and page time.
We鈥檝e got her best friend (Liv) who鈥檚 starting to get with his best friend (Robbie). Her skating partner (Aaron) who鈥檚 mentally and emotionally abusive to her (but she doesn鈥檛 realize this even though she鈥檚 been in therapy for years and supposedly is really good at expressing her thoughts and figuring out how she鈥檚 feeling鈥� but okay.) There鈥檚 also a bunch of guys from the hockey team that end up becoming a part of this large friend group that鈥檚 forming (JJ, Henry, Russ, Bobby + more). Did I forget to mention Robbie? Yea, he鈥檚 Anastasia鈥檚 fuck buddy at the beginning of the book because she doesn鈥檛 have any interest in committing to a relationship because she just wants to focus on her training and skating career鈥�. but it鈥檚 okay because early on he ends up starting a relationship with someone that Liv (Anastasia鈥檚 best friend) absolutely hates鈥� so now her and Robbie are just best friends who sleep in the same bed together without shirts on sometimes鈥� nbd (馃檮)
Then there鈥檚 Nate. He鈥檚 a sweetie and I liked him enough - but not enough to keep reading. Especially because I really didn鈥檛 like Anastasia. As for their relationship鈥� I didn鈥檛 like that either. It was a-lot of tell and no show - and the few times there was show and they actually had a minute alone with each other, they would just get it on (yawn).
As for the actual plotline - there was none. Yup. None 鈥� Basically all these characters meet for the first time when they are forced to start sharing an ice rink and that鈥檚 basically just a setup for them all to become friends鈥� and then the rest of the story (from what I鈥檝e read) is just watching them do everyday college shit like go to parties and bars and study and go to training and boring things like that.
The funny thing is, is that right at the halfway point is when we get the second half of what was mentioned in the synopsis鈥� where Aaron (the abusive skating partner) causes a ton of drama by getting injured and blaming it on Nate - so Nate ends up getting benched for a while and decides to fill in as Anastasia鈥檚 new skating partner鈥�. and that鈥檚 right around where I gave up on the story.鈥� and I鈥檓 just sayin鈥� don鈥檛 put something in the synopsis if it鈥檚 not gonna happen until midway through - IMO the synopsis should only have information that takes place in the first 50-100 pages鈥� but what do I know?
So to sum all that up again鈥� there were too many characters, too much drama, and somehow there was nothing actually going on other than all these people hanging out a bunch and Anastasia getting it on with Nate every time she was drunk and horny.
Is it crazy to say that I have so much more I could complain about?? Even after my longest review ever?? It鈥檚 fine, I鈥檒l stop myself here鈥� but just know鈥� I had more.

Is this what kids are into nowadays? Am I too ancient, too old, too out of touch with reality to understand what gen Z likes?
"stop slapping your balls this loud"
"her ass smells so good"
"can Lola really hear my balls?"
Yes, these are all quotes from this book.
Well... there was zero plot. Every single character talked like they were 15 and just found out about sex through giphs on tumblr. And honestly, sex is the only thing they talk about. Every single page. There is nothing but: who's hooking up with who, how many kinky things they've done, waking up and training while wasted from the parties they went to the night before, and how loud his balls are against her thighs when they're having sex.
The FMC has a hardcore/severe eating disorder. AND THERE IS LEGIT A SENTENCE WHERE THEY EXCUSE A GUY KNOCKING SOMEONE UP BY SAYING: oh, it wasn't his fault, he doesn't know a lot about pregnancy. he's a good guy, he's just a 25 year old MAN who doesn't understand how sex works. so you gotta give him a pass. 
But yeah, if you want to know what this one is about, it's just a wattpad book that hasn't been edited. But I guess these are the books that get publisher deals nowadays.
There are too many characters that are introduced in a very confusing way. They get yelled at by their coaches every 10 pages and talk about sex and alcohol for the remaining pages. Rinse and repeat. They all end up sharing a rink and spend a lot more time together, yatta, yatta.
It's not the worst book I have ever read. But... It is written like a Wattpad story. Repetitive, long and childish. I JUST don't get it.
I am a geriatric millennial.

FUCK THIS BOOK AND EVERYBODY IN ITTTTT. Stupid instalove shit with a self righteous poorly executed 鈥済irlboss鈥� mc who鈥檚 whole personality is being sassy and shallow but really she鈥檚 fighting demons 馃ズ馃ズ馃ズ馃ズ SHUT UP and the love interest is somehow even worse at the beginning of the book he鈥檚 said to be in love with a girl and wants to marry her but completely forgets she even exists upon meeting Anastasia? By the way 鈥淪tassie鈥� is one of the ugliest nicknames I鈥檝e ever heard in my life. Bitch isn鈥檛 the Loch Ness monster.
SECOND OF ALL the way he鈥檚 immediately like 鈥渙mg I would do anything to hear Stassie鈥檚 laugh again 馃槏鈥� SHUT THE FUXKKKKK UP YOU JUST MET HER PLEASE LIKE it鈥檚 actually painful and So Fucking Forced too. They don鈥檛 have two molecules of chemistry to rub together. You can tell the author was literally forcing infatuation on Nathan.
THIRD OF ALL the plotline is ass. The author is clearly going for an enemies-to-lovers but Anastasia shouldn鈥檛 have even been mad at Nathan in the first place because it was over a minuscule predicament that wasn鈥檛 even remotely his fault. 鈥淚 was planning on being mad at you forever鈥� OVER FUCKING WHAT???? Id get it if she didn鈥檛 like him because he鈥檚 a useless pushover douchebag who鈥檚 literally obsessed with her but she doesn鈥檛 even gaf about that. It鈥檚 just cuz his teammates ex girlfriends boyfriend or some shit, who he has nothing to do with, fucked up their rink.
FOURTH OF ALL nobody in this book has any decorum or home training. Why does Anastasia never wear any goddamn underwear to SOCIAL OUTINGS?
Nessie went commando to someone鈥檚 BIRTHDAY PARTY. And I鈥檓 not sure about you but I wouldn鈥檛 want my boyfriend sleeping in another woman鈥檚 fucking bed because they鈥檙e 鈥渂est friends鈥� *COUGH* RYAN *COUGH*. And these bitches are talking about sex and literally Having sex in Ubers like MANNERS. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE FUCKING CAR OH MY GOD.
And for a final note: just how much I hate this stupid useless couple馃槉 Nathan saying he won鈥檛 fuck Anastasia when she鈥檚 drunk and 1) Nessie getting literally offended by him saying no and going back to being a complete self righteous bitch FOR NO REASON (for a modern day 鈥渨oke鈥� book the word 鈥渘o鈥� doesn鈥檛 seem to mean as much when you 鈥渄on鈥檛 take rejection well鈥�! (Stfu!!! No Consent is no consent!)) and 2) they fuck literally a couple days after even though she鈥檚 drunk AGAIN. SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT SHIT.
Yeah this is garbo ok bye LOVEU.

4.3 猸愶笍
it should鈥檝e been me鈥� to start off, i folded throughout this entire book. it鈥檚 always the nice guys with dirty mouths that get me in heat. and i know i鈥檓 gonna die alone at this point because i will accept nothing less than nathan hawkins鈥�.
anyways鈥�.um the plot鈥here was it? lmaooo nah but fr why tf was this book so goddamn long. don鈥檛 get me wrong the filler was actually good. like i kinda enjoyed reading about them just being a couple and doing couply things. lowkey wish they didn鈥檛 get together so soon but whatever. and half the time i couldn鈥檛 distinguish between the side characters so whenever they鈥檇 say something i kinda just tuned out. unless it was what they texted in the group chat. that was actually funny and worthwhile 馃槀 aaron can fall into a volcano for all i care tho.
Anastasia鈥our honor i love her. i enjoyed reading about her character growth and development. she鈥檚 a 10/10 baddie i gotta say because when she did the splits on Nathan鈥檚 dick鈥hy tf was i breathing heavy? the things she鈥檇 say to make him blush???鈥ruh we were both blushing. i appreciated how she always said things straight. point blank period. there鈥檚 literally no miscommunication when miss girl is around and i admire that. she鈥檚 also way better than me for putting up with Aaron uglyass Carlisle because i would鈥檝e pounded that pricks head into the fucking ice if someone spoke to me like that.
Nathan Hawkins鈥k i hate to admit it but this mf was really holding this book together. there鈥檚 something about a guy willing to get down on his knees for you in a second that鈥檚 just so poetic. and god damn the mouth on this man had me tearing my pillow in half. the fucking praise 馃槱馃槱馃槱 the way he so unconditionally loves Anastasia was so lyrical. and oooh when he saved Anastasia from almost drowning鈥our honor, is it problematic it that i found that kinda attractive?? hmmm 馃
in conclusion, if he ain鈥檛 nathan hawkins鈥� get the fuck outta my face

I fell for the cute cover and the figure skater x hockey player trope, but honestly this was so NOT good for me.
I liked Nathan 鈥搕he hero鈥�, because he was sweet, caring and understanding, while also being charming and a little bit cocky, but I guess that's it?
1. I didn't like the heroine because she was presented as someone determined and focused on her career as a figure skater, but all her actions towards that goal made her look childish and annoying for me because of the way she treated those around her, as if they were disposable, and almost as if she was doing them a favor by giving them the time of day, when at the end of the day she was always the one who came back for more because of that feeling of familiarity she didn鈥檛 had before.
2. There were too many side characters that I couldn't keep track of, and at some points they stole the limelight in this book, while others became more and more annoying with each intervention (Henry please shut up, you stopped being quirky like 20 chapters ago). Also I don't wanna be like that, but I really feel like the author tried too hard to score those rep points while not even using google translate properly.
3. And then the plot dragged and dragged, forever and ever, AMEN. I heard this was a Wattpad story before and maybe that's why the whole plot feels a bit cut off, but gosh, a new conflict after a few chapters? It was a few conflicts too much. I can't even remember how many acts this book had because they felt endless to me.

Also I don't wanna be like that, but I really feel like the author tried too hard to score those rep points while not even using google translate properly.
3. And then the plot dragged and dragged, forever and ever, AMEN. I heard this was a Wattpad story before and maybe that's why the whole plot feels a bit cut off, but gosh, a new conflict after a few chapters? It was a few conflicts too much. I can't even remember how many acts this book had because they felt endless to me.

THIS. THIS WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE. stassienate will go down as some of my favorite people of all time. and y鈥檃ll.. lola, robbie, jj, russ. the puckbunnies group text!!!!! the entire dynamic of the friend group just made this even more enjoyable. and ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR MY MAIN MAN HENRY MF TURNER!!! HE IS A KING. ILL TAKE NO ARGUMENTS.
not only amazing characters but also: positive conversations about therapy, diversity & representation within the friend group, sex positive, banter & comedy, iconic friendships, immaculate romance, the spice!!!! goodbye. i have nothing but amazing things to say about this. it wasn鈥檛 even all that plot heavy so if ur a plot person.. this may not be for u. but i鈥檓 a character person through and through so this GOT ME.

Can we take a moment and talk about the real star of the book?
鉁℉别苍谤测鉁�
He was the best character in this whole book, i was practically frothing at the mouth whenever he appeared, I swear if this man was real i would be on my knees.......to propose, get your minds out of the gutter.
He literally so cute and rediculously funny, he says what he thinks in the moment and doesn't give a damn.
For example Nate wanted to talk to Stassie and JJ said lets get some drink (to let them have some alone time) and Henry said why? you have a drink and so do i
God i love that man, and he got like maybe maximum of 20 pages of screen time
Lets not forget : " it was fun staying in Henry's room. There's a box of essentials like shampoo, wipes hair ties and tampons in his bathroom. I asked if an ex had left them, but he said he'd brought them for if a womanever stayed over. He wanted to ensure she had everything she might nrrf, especially because women never have sock
I want to marry this man
Besides Henry being the best character in this book, i enjoyed it, it wanst ground breaking in any way but I loved Nate and how much he was in love with Sassie and I hate Aaron, he is a disgrase to all Aarons.
My attention was focused on Henry the entire time, read this book for him.
I need his book like yesterday please and thank you Hannah Grace
this book reminded me of:
The Off Campus series
From Lukov with Love

Henrys book when?

"Falling in love with Nathan Hawkins was not something I could have planned."
You and me both Anastasia, you and me both.
Plot- 4/5鉁�
Spice- 4/5馃尪锔�
Prepare to fall in love with this book and the characters because-
鉁旓笍Dual Pov
鉁旓笍Reverse Grumpy x Sunshine
鉁旓笍Friends to lovers
鉁旓笍College romance
鉁旓笍Juicy smut, like really juicy
鉁旓笍Guy falls first
鉁旓笍Sports romance
Nate, our MMC is just perfect. The man is hot, swoon worthy and head over heels for Anastasia. I thought y'all were kidding when you said that guy is worth reading about, but you all were so right. Anastasia, our FMC is equally adorable. She is strong, so easy to like and her chemistry with Nate is just so darn amazing. Did I mention how juicy the smut is? It's so so HOT!!
This does have the Off Campus series vibe to it, but I definitely prefer this one to it. It's much more easy going and natural, the romance doesn't seem forced and the plot is quite engaging, the side characters are also equally intriguing. I wish I could've read this one sooner馃ズ
