the book hangover that i have right now is not even funny like
the way i miss these characters already and this series is sickening. stephanie archer is one of my favourite authors and she reminded me why with this series yet again. like WHY AM I FEELING EMPTY INSIDE OVER A SILLY LITTLE HOCKEY ROMCOM SERIES???
stephanie said that hazel and rory are her favourite characters to date and it makes so much sense cause you could TELL the amount of love she put into these characters. hazel and rory felt and ARE very much real #tome. i love them to bits. this book spoke to me personally a LOT and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
rory and hazel were just…everything! they LITERALLY felt like real people. the way rory would said or do something and i’d laugh and be like “ofc you’d say that” AS IF THIS IS A REAL MAN?… like literally just the most real, endearing, comforting characters. their struggles and the way they were portrayed felt so real and were dealt with so well and were so well-incorporated into the story and…i’m just empty honestly.
rory and hazel are one of my favourites couples of all-time and i love them to death. if he doesn’t speak or think of you the way rory speaks and thinks of hazel DROP HIM!!! just another obsessed man that had me BY THE THROAT and i need him so bad
stephanie simply creates the most comforting worlds and characters and i need to live in all of her series forever. i need her to write my bf into real life

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.
Safety Rating: Safe
• No cheating
• No OW drama
- Hero has been celibate for 1+ year (since he reconnected with the Heroine)
• Does have OM drama
- Heroine's ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her, has been transferred to the hockey team she works for. Instead of apologizing, her ex makes her feel like shit, so she agrees to fake date the Hero to come across as if she's no longer hurt.
- Her ex attempts to woo her (creepily) throughout the book, which is completely unwelcome but causes the Hero to become jealous
• Does have the Heroine pushing the Hero away
• No separation
Possible Triggers: Yes
• Sexual harassment
• Recounting being cheated on (and being the last to know if her friend group)
• Negative self-talk and fatphobia (challenged) of a side character
• Complicated family relationships
Ending:HEA with Epilogue. Just married and talking about kids in the distant future.
