i knew it would be, but this is SO good.

i'm gonna finish it because i got this far, but this HAS to be AI-written.

the hockey players just started a book club to read a hockey romance? i'm endeared despite myself.

oh hey i'm actually optimistic about this one

someone needs to yell at me until i officially dnf this book, because holy shit.

if for nothing else, i'm sticking with this because the fifth grade hockey team is called the Sharks lmao

well, the gaudreau chapter got me crying so i had to put this down for the night.

i dunno, i'm trying because the premise is intriguing but the writing just doesn't feel like it's up to snuff...

A few seconds later, McDavid gets a breakaway, fakes far side, then pulls it back and goes backhand high glove and in. I’m thinking, ‘What the hell just happened?’ I’ve never seen a guy control a puck like that. It takes me a few minutes of the game for my mind to even comprehend how he is moving. It’s so fast, it’s like he’s glitching.

look, i'm reading this but i'm not happy about it. will i dnf or suffer through it, bitching the whole time? only time will tell!

i like this so far, and the author explains hockey in a way that's extremely accessible, but man does he seem to resent his wife.

"Joe Murphy remembered the 1997–98 season as the year a doctor threatened to amputate one of his hands. "

It would be decades before Murphy, in connection with a workers compensation claim filed in connection with injuries he allegedly suffered while playing for the San Jose Sharks, finally received a conclusive diagnosis that the repeated brain trauma he suffered while playing in the NHL had had serious, life-altering consequences. It’s impossible to say whether Murphy understood what was going on within his own brain.

"In recent years, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has accused the media of fanning fears about the risks of concussions, such as the one Joe Murphy suffered in January 1991 while playing against the Red Wings. The science, Bettman insists, remains too uncertain for anyone to draw conclusions about the long-term implications of repeated brain trauma."
