Cherry Picking

Rate this book
Some people you bury.
Some people you keep.

Briggs Maxwell is the hockey player teams like to put in front of a camera. He's fast, he's easy to like, and he makes a struggling franchise look better than it is. But it's a contract year, the Charlotte Kings are on the wrong side of the playoff line, and he's starting to suspect he'll spend a whole career being useful without ever being necessary.

Then his little brother dies, and Briggs flies home to Vegas to bury a man he hadn't spoken to in two years.

Evie Sutton has buried half her town and most of her feelings. She's a fine arts graduate who digs graves for her father's funeral home, and she knows how to handle grief like she handles a supply order—practically, and without flinching.

What she doesn’t know how to handle is a famous hockey player who’s just turned up at her funeral home.

When Briggs has to leave his stroke-recovering father behind for the rest of the season, it's Evie who agrees to help them out. It's supposed to be a simple arrangement. Five months, a paycheck, and two thousand miles of distance to keep it from becoming anything else.

But Briggs has spent his whole life leaving before anyone can ask him to stay, and Evie has never once asked anybody for anything. Which is fine, right up until it isn't.

A romance about the people we lose, the people we hold onto, and the terrifying business of being worth the trouble.

о як гарно залетіло. більше маленьких різноманітностей у буденні хокейні романи. історія про втрату й зцілення, драми якраз у міру, аби я пустила пару сльозинок, дотепний гумор, налагодження стосунків батька й сина та повііільне зародження почуттів між головними героями. ну смакота 🙂‍↔️

🏒 бріггс - відомий хокеїст, який вертається до ненависного рідного міста, щоб поховати брата, з яким не спілкувався останні два роки. пізніше ми дізнаємося причину їхньої сварки.. і це було боляче, з різних причин. особливо знаючи, що вони вже ніколи не зможуть прояснити все між собою 🥲

⚰️ еві - трішки зухвала й дотепна могильниця, яка щиро пишається сімейною справою. вона особисто копала могилу для брата бріггса і поспішила йому це повідомити в першу ж хвилину знайомства 😅
дівчина береться доглядати батька бріггса, який оговтується після інсульту, щоб підзаробити грошенят і виплатити студентські борги.

так і зав'язується спілкування еві та бріггса. і оскільки більшість часу між ними дві тисячі миль та постійні роз'їзди бріггса, головний спосіб зв'язку - смс, дзвінки й фейстайм. і їхні переписки це просто кайф, обожнюю, коли в книжках цього багато. а рідкісні зустрічі героїв від того стають ще більш цінними й трепетними ☺️

з них вийшли чудові друзі, а далі це плавно переросло у щось значно більше. ну й вуса бріггса, мабуть, зіграли свою роль, бо хлопець точно знає, як переконливо благати на колінах 😏😛

сподобалася взаємодія еві з власним батьком і те, як чуйно вони ставляться до своєї справи. та й із батьком бріггса вона вправно знайшла спільну мову, а цей буркотун абикого до себе не підпустить.
плюс, сподобалася атмосфера в команді бріггса. той випадок, коли вони дійсно відчуваються як велика родина. його найкращий друг огі - просто неймовірний золотистий ретривер. якщо це не серія, то дуже шкода, бо я б із задоволенням почитала історію і про нього 🥹

🪡2*It's over.thank you God!*stars.
All they do is fck their way through everything and pretend everything is fine.
a ⌜coward × a doormat⌟ 𝜗𝜚Cherry picked indeed.

Briggs and Evie meet at his brother's funeral. Then he hires her to be his dads caretaker. So now the concept of her being a grave digger just vanishes. They text a bit - then fck - he ghosts her - then sorry and fck again and it repeats till the bitter end ✨️
𝜗𝜚Same bs different day. They were so fcking annoying by the end of it i didn't like either MC.

Concepts are underdeveloped. The cover is GORGEOUS

tropes : grave digger × hockey player, abhorrent levels of communication

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I’VE FINISHED THIS BOOK ALREADY 😭

I loved it so much. 😭 The banter between Evie & Briggs!!! That was insanely fun to read! And Murph! His sass, humour, and gentle heart! He might be my fave character ever! 🥺 His relationship with Evie was everything. 🥺

And the whole concept of a gravedigger (her) x pro hockey player?!?! So insanely cool, and so was Evie! She’s an icon. ✨

The way Ki wrote about grief and how complicated it can be? Both beautiful and heartbreaking!

And Briggs. 😮‍💨 Sad, hot Briggs. 😮‍💨 Tattooed and moustached Briggs. 😮‍💨 Do I have to say more?

A beautiful surprise of a book. I reached for it because of the gorgeous cover, unsure what to expect, and it very quickly made its way onto my list of the best books I’ve read! 🥹🥰

Неочікувано щира й зворушлива історія про смерть, втрату та зцілення.

За цією грайливою обкладинкою ховається дещо значно глибше - історія про горе, внутрішні сумніви й пошук сил для прощення.
Але найбільше моє серце підкорила ця дружньо-сімейна атмосфера. Відчуття близькості, підтримки й того, що навіть у найтемніші періоди життя поруч можуть бути люди, які допоможуть тобі знову зібрати себе докупи.

А ще ці чорні жартики від Еві - ну це просто вишенька на торті. Люблю, коли жартують про смерть 😅

5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was my first book by KI Stephens, and I absolutely loved it. She did such a beautiful job of making these characters feel raw, real, and incredibly human. I felt like I was walking alongside them as they worked through grief, mental health struggles, and that constant feeling of wondering if they were enough.

The premise makes this sound like it’s going to be a fun, lighthearted read, but just know this one will pull at your heartstrings. There was so much emotion woven throughout the story, and I honestly adored every character I was introduced to.

Definitely an author I’ll be reading again!

Sports romance and grief representation PERFECTION. Heard you were looking for a book to cry to while listening to Willing and Able by Noah Kahan... found one for you... and it hurt REALLY bad but in the best way. God, Ki Stephens just has one of the most beautiful writing voices out there right now. The way she spun this story stuck to my bones the way a homecooked meal would. It's warm and familiar and nostalgic and heartbreaking all at once. A pro hockey player and a gravedigger is something I never would have thought of and it couldn't have been done more perfectly for me. Evie and Briggs are two of my new favorite main characters! The way their grief was tackled in such different ways while maintaining that line of connection they felt to each other right from the start worked so well for me as a reader. Evie's quiet wish for more from her life and her relationship with death on a broader scale from being a death care professional, and Briggs' complex relationship with a brother he can no longer fight with made this feel so intimate and vulnerable. How can I not mention the groveling? Or the spice? Or the way these two yearned for each other in person and apart? I just loved this so much and could read one million pro sports romances by Ki, especially since I know that she always delivers so beautifully on prose and angst and slowly built relationships— I have nothing but praise for this surprise release and can't help but hope that there may be more in store for '13' and 'pretty girl"! Highly recommending this to fans of Isaiah Rhodes, people who love a good cry while they're reading their romance, or anyone looking for something completely out of the sports romance box that will quietly break your heart before solidly stitching it back up. A resounding 5 stars ⭐️

The books name, Cherry Picking, initially pulled me in, the hockey stick on the cover sealing the deal. Started reading blind, which I don’t often do, but I’m kinda glad I did on this one. Ki Stephens gave us some pretty great mc’s to work with, along with fun side characters. By immersing us in two locations we have two sets of side characters to keep the story always rolling along. For me the pacing was quick, and I didn’t want to stop reading. Pretty spicy with a few scenes, I definitely recommend for my hockey romance loving fans. Check triggers.

❝ I was really hoping you’d come tonight. I think I wanted you there more than I wanted to win. ❞

ⓘ review may contain some spoilers

╰┈➤ 𝑷𝒍𝒐𝒕 & 𝑾𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆
⤿ pretty cover and a great story? did i just hit the jackpot??? i didn't expect this book to be THAT GOOD but i was proved wrong. the plot gives exactly what it promises; gravedigger FMC, professional hockey player MMC, an excellent mental health representation and a stroke-recovering father. add a TON of banter, hillarious interactions between the MMC's father and the FMC and a beautifully done slow burn and you've got a story worth reading.
⤿ i love the fact that this book offered exactly what it promised. it wasn't the usual 'a little bit of this and a little bit of that' or a trope overload that i am seeing more and more in romance books lately... KI Stephenes chose a plotline and stayed true to it and i appreciate it. the tropes grumpy MMC x black cat FMC x forced proximity x slow burn are all well-written and the length of the book was just perfect. 'Cherry Picking' is great example of quality over quantity in romence books; no unnecessary tropes, no 400+ pages of repetition, no random drama and certainly no trauma 'overdose'. it is just a well-crafted story with actual substance.
⤿ the writing was solid and honestly there was a flow to the words that kept you hooked and wanting to read more. the dual POVs were great and i really liked diving into Briggs's messed up head and Evie's thoughts! the dialogues were realistic and the interaction written so well they didn't feel forced. throughout the book i had this feeling i was watching a movie rather than reading!

╰┈➤ 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒇 & 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔
almost every romance book nowdays has mentions of grief or addiction but in this book they are not just a backdrop in the story; they have a deeper purpose and really help the plot move. the loss of Briggs's brother transforms him into a vulnerable person, exposing a raw and hurt version of his personality. it was interesting to see him fight the denial and slowly start accepting his grief. it was motivating to see his self growth and how he seeked therapy and learned to confront his feelings. for the better part of the story he avoided coming face-to-face with his past but at the last 20% he truly showcased incredible resilience, faced his 'demons' and closed all the chapters of his past life. that truly allowed him to find peace and enjoyment in his life.
while Evie didn't face the same mental problems she struggled financially. i liked the fact that she accepted help from Briggs, set her pride aside but never became completely dependant on him. instead she focused on getting just what she needed not being stubborn and refusing but also not allowing herself to get everything from him. Evie was portayed as this baddie with a strong sense of feminism but the fact that she allowed Briggs to help her financially shows exactly that borrowing money from a man does not make a woman "less of a feminist" or compromise her feminist values. the fact that Briggs offered money only to help her and not to manipulate her also shows how much he values Evie. i liked that side of the story a lot because it conveys strong messages.

that's another reason why i really liked this novel; there was actualy progress, the problems got solved, the main characters actually worked towards easying their struggles.

╰┈➤ 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒔 𝒙 𝑬𝒗𝒊𝒆

“Good night, thirteen.”
“Talk tomorrow, pretty girl.”


Briggs and Evie were everything! (i saw a review saying how Briggs reminded them of Isaiah Rhodes and i coudn't agree more) the slow burn was great and i really liked that push and pull between them. they became an actual couple around 70% but the connection was palpable from the start. their relationship felt real, authentic and i couldn't really believe i was reading about fictional people...
also, their banter was so good... i loved reading their chat messages and i might have laughed out loud in a few jokes...
Briggs respected Evie's boundaries when they were on and off and when he begged for a second chance he was honest and true with her.
the progress of the relationship felt real and i appreciate the fact that they got together later on because we got to see a matured version of them.
while there is a third-act-break-up it is 100% justified because of the circumstances and instead of making the story dull (and me angry) it does actually add a lot of depth to it. (i won't get into details because i don't want to spoil anything else but just in case you want to read it but are afraid of the break up don't worry it's not one of those random, dumb ones)

╰┈➤ 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔
Evie and Briggs really grew on me as characters, i liked them so much together and reading about their story was a bliss!
'Cherry Picking' isn't just a cute romance. it's a good story about love and loss with a hot MMC and a baddie FMC who are the SWEETEST together!
also, i don't like my men with mustaches but for Briggs i'll make an exception... and that dahlia tattoo and it's meaning?? hell yeah...

The heavy brows, the mustache. A pillow crease on his cheek, his hair a mess…

Like genuinely this is a work of art. I love me a hockey romance it’s no secret, and I love Ki, so you may think my opinion is biased but NO. This book is SO good. I absolutely love the dynamic between a pro hockey player and a grave digger. Just that concept is so cool to me. Like when have we ever seen that before???? Plus Evie and Briggs are ridiculously cool characters. Evie is so secure in herself and Briggs is just… hot… There’s so much I can say about this book but I could be here all day. So just TRUST ME and read this book, and maybe have some tissues on standby! HAPPY READING 🏒🍒🪦

2 stars 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟 I'm so sad about this one because it had potential, honestly.

This book follows Briggs and Evie. Briggs' younger brother just died and he hadn't talked to him in two years because they fell out so now Briggs is dealing with a whole bunch of complicated shit. In comes Evie who is a gravedigger and dug the younger brother's grave. Briggs' father had a stroke not too long ago and the younger brother has been caring for him this whole time but of course because he's dead now someone else has to do it because Briggs is a hockey player so he asks Evie. (I know this is a super boring summary, my juices aren't flowing after the bore this book was)

Why did I find it boring?
Firstly, this book didn't go in the direction I hoped. When I heard that the FMC was a gravedigger and there was the theme of grief and mental health, I'm always sold because I will always love a heartfelt angsty story. But goddamn, why was it so mundane and boring? I expected heart wrenching scenes to do with mental health and struggle (which we got a BIT) and emotionally driven scenes with yearning but instead I got tricked and it just felt a bit like lust idk.
They got together and hooked up after 100 pages (with such little build up I cannot) (I also don't can't even pinpoint why they became drawn to . other) and the rest of the book was Briggs fixing his mistakes and them breaking up TWICE after. like guys... I'm all for writing complex characters but I feel like we didn't dive deep enough! I would have much more loved if this whole book was Briggs' POV because in all honestly he's the only one who had a character arc. I thought Evie would have some sort of mental health arc because it was kind of suggested at times but nope she got NOTHING- can you believe that? Like she's a gravedigger, she already has a depressing job LOL why not capitalise on it to make her more interesting.

Parts I enjoyed:
Evie and Murphy- they were a funny duo and would have loved to see more of it.
I loved the texts between Evie and Briggs.
Evie's humour at times was so funny, like when she called Murphy (Briggs' dad) hot at the start I was DEADD.
There was a part in the book where Briggs' is in a game and someone says something about his brother to him and the way his spiral was written, oh :/ I felt him so much.


Overall, I think this had potential but it really did miss the mark. (Which is so annoying because I bought a physical copy LOL)

It took me a minute to think how I wanted to rate this since I did enjoy it but sadly i was so annoyed with Briggs.

Evie is a grave digger and she meets Briggs when he's burying his brother she makes a conversation and this makes Briggs want more. So he convinces her to help his father. And she does I like the dad and her sorta friendship she didnt baby him and spoke to the dad in a adult way no kid gloves. So the texts between Briggs and her were cute and funny. Then the almost slept together it has Briggs pushing away because he had alot on his plate but what annoyed me was HE went after her and ghosted her. He was the one pushing and pulling. I felt bad for evie because few times i felt she was in the dark.

It happened again when the story came out evie should've stuck to her guns and kept her silent treatment more. But shes more nice lol. The spicy scenes were delicious.

Saftey-Evie does go on a date because Briggs ghosted her nothing happened but a kiss on the cheek. Briggs been celibate for few years.

Estoy tan feliz de que me haya callado la boca chicas, yo no tenía expectativas ni fe porque ajá es famosite y nunca me suelen gustar.

Pero LO AMEE lo leí my rápido la vdd porque yo estaba leyendo un libro entre medio y pensé que me iba a durar nose dos días. Y me duró 12 horas JJAJAJQQ

Es muy bueno, no es la mayor obra de arte pero lo disfruté mucho. Evie fue mi personaje definitivamente porque era justo lo que necesita.
Me gustó mucho como se comportan como ADULTOS y no como pendejos, la relación es maravillosa y si la cagaron pero a ver. He leído peores cosas donde el la cago así que esa cosa no es nada y menos cuando él tenía una razón (no, no le hizo daño a la prota ni nada) así que él es perfecto.

No vi mucho el hockey que digamos pero no me importa osea, la trama es perfecta.

Mención honorífica a murphy: mi animal espiritual.

No sé hacer estas reseñas pero leanlo, es muy fácil de leer, es divertido y bonito… y las escenas spicy cumplen su rol 😋

Cherry Picking by Ki Stephens was such an emotionally grounded read. One of the things I appreciated most was the way grief and maladaptive coping mechanisms were handled. The characters don’t always make the best choices, but their reactions feel human and believable rather than exaggerated for the sake of drama. I loved that this story allowed those realities to exist without making them feel overblown or unrealistic.

There’s something especially impactful about a book that lets its characters be flawed without making their flaws feel like a performance. The emotional struggles felt natural, and that made it easier to connect with the characters and understand where they were coming from, even when their choices weren’t perfect.

Well I'm in love. Read this one on a whim and I am so grateful that I did. Briggs and Evie are what I needed right now. But I have to say it was Murphy who stole my heart.

The banter was top notch. Had me laughing and tearing up. This book was full of so much heart and love. I loved that Evie was a grave digger. What a unique concept. I've never read it before and I want more 😂. And ofc who doesn't love a hockey player. Briggs and his mullet and 'stache 🤭. Getting to learn about what really happened between Briggs and his brother Ziggy was sad. I did love seeing Briggs and his dad Murphy mend their relationship. It was sweet and warmed my heart.

I loved all of Murphy's interactions with Evie. Him teaching her about hockey was adorable and one of my favorite parts. I recently started watching and now I get the hype! I related to Evie during her first hockey game so hard 😂.

I loved seeing Briggs and Evie's relationship grow. Yes, Briggs was avoiding his feelings but I loved that Murph and even Augie knocked some sense into him. And Evie herself didn't let him get away with it. She was blunt which I appreciated. The spice was great, and I love a man who loves to please 😌.

I only have love for this book and being as it's my first from Ki, I guess I gotta go back and read her other ones. And if she wanted to give Augie a book, I wouldn't complain 🤭!

Cherry Picking 🍒🪦🌺🏒

This is such a beautiful read!! It's my first time reading Ki Stephens, and I'm already so obsessed with her writing!! The way she explores grief and losing the people you love, how hard it is, how we keep somehow going, and how much those experiences can change us as people. It was so beautifully written!! 🥹

EVIE, QUEEN!!! I absolutely loved Evie's personality!! I found it so refreshing how she was always so direct and unapologetically herself. Also, how she always knows where her boundaries lie and makes sure they're respected. I found that so admirable and amazing!!

BRIGGS!! 🫠 THIS MAN, PLEASE!! Reading about everything he'd been keeping bottled up, the unexpected loss of his brother, the grief, and having to live with the regret of the things that were unspoken. The contradiction of being angry at someone while missing them at the same time because, despite everything, he was still his little brother.

Briggs's personal growth moved me so much. He had so much to work through; the way he always tended to avoid things because, to him, everything needed to have a solution, and fixing it was his responsibility. He struggled so much with being honest about his feelings, and his journey toward finding himself and allowing himself to feel, making peace with who he was, and learning to forgive himself was such a emotional rollercoaster. All the guilt he'd been carrying and the emotions he'd kept buried for so, so long. It was truly beautiful and healing to read.

Also can't forget Murphy and Augie!! 🥹

Murphy stole my heart. What a stubborn and adorable old man. He always made me smile with the way he refused to let anyone help him, when deep down, he was simply grateful for the company.

Augie is the kind of friend everyone wishes they had. He's so charming and charismatic that it's impossible not to fall in love with him! The way he was always there for Briggs was just so heart-warming. He never stopped checking in on him, asking if he was okay, and reminding him that he'd be there whenever he was ready to talk. And how beautiful is that? Because at the end of the day, he had these people in his life who genuinely cared about him and would always be there for him.

It was such a beautiful read, I had a great time reading it and above all, I absolutely loved these two!! 🩷

[5⭐️]

ki stephen’s, give me your shopping list at this point, because i think even that might be 5 stars 😭 this was so good, and i ate up every second of it!! i was intrigued right from the very first chapter. this book had me smiling, laughing and kicking my feet at the romance, but it also had me deeply emotional as it deals and touches on heavy loss/grief whilst slowly trying to come to terms with it. and i have to say that ki handled the subject with such thought and care which you could fundamentally see through her writing. i also really appreciate how real and raw these characters came across. they weren’t perfect in every single possible moment, because who is!? it made me feel as if i was almost there with them in every moment wanting to see the absolute best for them. for a surprise book we had no idea about (which i lowkey absolutely loved, and want more authors to do), i have to say - i could’ve read another 250 pages on evie and briggs. i miss them already and i only finished the book about 25 minutes ago….safe to say this will be one of those comfort books for me that i will come to reread when i need it <33
