I bought the digital version of the film and fell in love with this story, so I read After You and then Still Me, so I decided I should finally read book one in this trilogy. I just bought the Kindle version, but I do plan to purchase the paperback or hardback set one day. Jojo Moyes is one of my favorite authors.

I just finished my first “Jennifer Sucevic hockey romance” which was on my list of hockey romance authors to check out. However, the only thing intriguing about this book for me was “the list” the FMC wrote of all the things she wanted to do while she was in college. She was more interested in her studies and going to med school than she was about going to parties and hanging with her brother's team mates. Her list was found by a guy she was sort of enemies with, but not really.Their families were friends and they grew up together and apparently there was something there between them for a while, but they didn't recognize it. I love “enemies to lovers” so I borrowed it via Kindle Unlimited. However, there wasn't enough angst for me to solidify the “enemies” part, or “frenemies” even. The audiobook was available on Kobo Plus Listen so I grabbed that and the narration was great, but the whole story line was just ok.

I was able to borrow the eBook with the Libby app and the audiobook via Spotify. I've been enjoying my foray into the Carolina Cold Fury series, and I think Sawyer Bennett is a great writer, but I was a little disappointed with this story. So much of it seemed implausible to me. The main conflict that kept the couple apart (truly destined to be together) all could've been settled with just a little mention by the FMC that she had tried to call and email her ex (the MMC) but was upset and holding out on getting back together with him because he never responded back to her... especially since she was sure HE was THE one that no other man could measure up to. I understand the tension was needed, but really there wasn't much else that happened in this one. Oh, and I know this is fiction, but what hockey player (on thin ice with his estranged girlfriend there in the middle of sexy time together) would invite his fb into his place with her there when she just showed up uninvited with no warning? Ummm nope! That would not happen IRL. I am looking forward to Max Fornier's book though!

I edited this so many times to fix it up, but the Goodreads mobile app, like this book, leaves a lot to be desired. Sorry for anything that didn't read smoothly.

I borrowed this book via KU and purchased the audiobook on Amazon so I could take advantage of the whispersync feature. The Setup is book 6 of Meghan Quinn's sports romance baseball series The Brentwood Boys and it's said that this can be read as a standalone, but I really don't advise it since all the characters show up throughout these books and more is added to their stories as time goes on.

On hold, because Libby app didn't allow enough time to read this entire book.
