Want some wholesome boys learning to love each other? This is the book for you.
We love no 3rd act breakup! The tension of this book was so reasonable and centered not on Carter and Zeke's relationship but instead on Carter's desire to play professional hockey. I found this so much more satisfying than the traditional "my parents hate me for being queer" trope that is often used in queer romances.

My only wish is that Zeke had been a trans man, but I'll survive. A hockey romance with a trans love interest though? Sign me immediately up.
