Fitz and Rosie were unexpected but enjoyable.

I didn't know what I was getting into with a shy hockey player who is also a cat dad and a donut-baking cam girl who has already had her heart broken. I was surprised by their story and how invested I was! I was hooked and needed to know what was going to happen. 

I do wish there was a bit more communication that could've helped prevent the third-act conflict (not really breakup?) but it got resolved in the end. I loved seeing both characters slowly come out of their shells together and how fun it was between the two.

The hockey team banter is always a great time, and I loved seeing Rosie with the other hockey wives. In the end, I loved the relationship, but not the conflict (which I guess is understandable).
