Blurred Lines

So this definitely wasn't as good as the first book, if you're looking for something similar to that, this isn't it. 

It was more light-hearted, funny, emotional in some ways. I found this was messier, though. It was very repetitive with ‘youre mine, forever, you're it' and also the fact that Brendon is a foodie, him constantly demanding for food, a little too much, in my opinion. 

I love the characters but this was a case of them bleeding into each other for me. I feel like they had pretty distinguished characters when we started but they started sounding really similar at the end, I had to constantly check whose perspective I was reading. 

A few plot lines, especially with Nikki I was really wondering where it was headed. It just went nowhere. 

I did enjoy other parts of this, i just wanted more. 

I have a feeling the next book is going to be about Carp and Nick, I can't wait for that 

I knew I should've dnf'd this when there was on-page sexual assault in the second chapter that is barely addressed for the rest of the book

I spent almost 400 pages with these characters and I have no idea who they are outside of being hockey players and no idea why they love each other.

the complete lack of communication in every aspect of their relationship was absolutely infuriating. how are you going to marry someone when you're scared of being physically intimate with them in case they ghost you? they just never seemed to talk about their relationship and jumped from friends, to more, to married without ever defining what they were or what they wanted. kinks weren't negotiated, boundaries weren't discussed, I just had no idea what they saw in each other.
