The Cutting Edge: A Steamy Hockey Romantic Comedy

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.

4.5

okay, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!

I was immediately hooked. I loved the way the book was written and how it didn't stall and take forever to get into the plot.

I freakin' loved Logan and Coco. From their first scene together, I could immediately sense the chemistry. Their banter was absolutely giggle-worthy. I read this book while I was at work, and lemme tell you, it was so hard not to physically laugh out loud and not get caught smiling at my screen like a doof.

Here's a line with absolutely no context because ARGH

“I won't lie; it's kind of nice. Yes, she's unconscious, so that's not ideal. But still. Nice.”

okay, it sounds creepy with no context, but read it, and it'll make sense, I promise.

minor spoilers?
(they're not big spoilers, but if you wanna go in blind then just stop reading here<3)

Now, let me get to why I docked off a half point. The conflict. That was just not it for me.
If I'm being honest, it was barely a conflict. It lasted all of two chapters, maybe. But I mean, I guess it was entertaining to wish I could just yell at these two for being stupid.
I understand where the conflict came from, but it was way too quick; I got whiplash. Maybe if it'd had been like they actually had a conversation about it rather than her just stomping away and making assumptions, I would've liked it more. I don't know. not my favourite part of the book, but still fine.
totally worth it for the rest of the book.
I also wish we got to see more of Coco and her ice skating. I mean, I get that she's incapacitated in the book, which is basically the whole premise, but it still would've been nice.

my favourite parts:
-Chapter 34 was the best part of this entire book. LIKE AHHHHHHHHHHH.
-the necklace
-Poppy, I wish we saw more of her. She slayed.
-the gifts!! especially the puppies.
- Logan. he was just an absolute golden retriever.
“That one was for you.”

Overall, I loved it. definitely recommend.
