Sunny Disposition

cute! although why did no one care that he lost all his memories? and celeste kept accusing finn of standing naomi up as if he meant to be hospitalized on purpose... where is the empathy

I am in love with both Naomi and Finn. They are both such well rounded characters and I loved their individual journeys as well as their romantic journey. IMO romance books work best when we fall in love with the characters individually before they fall in love with each other and Deanna made me do that.

WARNING: I will be making a lot of comparisons with Icebreaker in this review since they are my first two sport/hockey books and Icebreaker was a massive disappointment while Sunny Disposition gave me everything I wanted.

Sunny Disposition is everything that I was expecting from Icebreaker in terms of plot and smut quality. Reading one after another made me realise how poorly written Icebreaker.

Sunny Disposition's plot is interesting and all characters actually exist outside of the romance/sex. Finn has his issues that do impact his relationship with the other protagonist, Naomi, but these issues also impact his relationship with his friends and family (which is covered in as much detail and care as his romance with Naomi).

Naomi also has her problems that she discusses with her friends, MidQuest (who she later finds out is Finn) and Celeste. Her life doesn't just revolve around Finn, but also her struggles dealing with poverty and her mother's death.

The amount of side characters were good and were allowed to shine approximately (love u Lincoln

I wish the book was longer so that there was more time for certain themes to be better developed. The most important aspects of the book—Finn's amnesia for example—weren't thoroughly explored enough in my opinion. There was a lot happening and I was left with some loose ends & questions unanswered. Felt a little rushed, especially the relationship, but it was super cute regardless, a fun quick read was just what I needed

I loved this!!!
