Oh how I love hockey romance! Tripped Up was such a fun and quick read for me. I immediately connected with musician Elsy, and I loved seeing her hatred for Wyatt slowly go from hatred to friendship to realizing there was something more there. The hockey itself was woven in so nicely and I adored the community that Elsy and Wyatt have.
I really loved having a FMC in Elsy who was honest about her body image struggles and the role they play in her relationships! And to see Wyatt not even bat an eye and support her through it was amazing. Body image is such a struggle for so many of us, and the realism here hit home for me.
The absolute SHRIEK I let out upon realizing the next book is about Bex and her man!! I am absolutely SAT for the next Austin Aces book by Allie Lasky, Game Misconduct! Considering I flew through this book, I am more than ready for more of Allie’s hockey books and am so excited to devour them all!
I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
