📚✨ ARC REVIEW ✨📚
Puck You by Flynn Novak
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5 stars)
Thank you, @wbywattpadbooks and @netgalley, for providing an ARC!
When Grace transfers to Dallard University for her senior year to play top-level hockey and stay close to her younger sister, she’s stunned by how differently the women’s team is treated compared to the men’s. She refuses to let it slide and helps spark a push for equal facilities, immediately putting her at odds with Sebastian, the men’s team captain.
Sebastian is fighting for a full comeback after a Frozen Four injury. He needs this season to go perfectly to prove to the NHL team that drafted him that he’s still worth the investment. Balancing school, hockey, and a crumbling relationship with his girlfriend is already a lot, and Grace’s campaign only adds to the pressure.
Soon, the two are butting heads on and off the ice. Their rivalry starts to affect their performance, and neither of them can afford that. But beneath all the tension is a spark neither of them can ignore. Will they give in, or will they keep clashing?
I really enjoyed this one! Sebastian’s redemption arc is wonderful—he transforms from a moody, selfish jerk concerned only with his recovery into someone willing to put Grace first, even if it means reevaluating his hockey future. I didn’t think I’d warm up to him in the first few chapters, but I absolutely did.
Grace was an easy character to love. She’s a powerhouse on the ice and willing to risk her scholarship to advocate for equal treatment. Her loyalty runs deep, especially with her sister, and I admire that she transferred schools to support her through a tough time.
If you want a competitive hockey romance with emotional depth and excellent banter, add this to your TBR.
