See allThis felt all over the place.
Ethan and Creed’s relationship, we just got “told” they loved each other but we weren’t shown it.
There was so many random things that were heavily explained that didn’t seem to have a purpose other than filler. (Creed’s cousins only fans type page). Lots of hockey teammates to keep track of that didn’t really get past surface level so was weird.
I enjoyed Jakub Ethan and Creed as a unit, though it was all insta love seemingly. Creed and Jakub were shy at first but then went of course I’ll love and marry you!
It was ok! Happy with plus size representation but the characters had no depth. All that she is is a 36 year old red head, who writes fan fiction. All that he is is a 40 year old shy actor with dyslexia. I'll admit Marcus was the more interesting of the two but he was still lacking depth.
There was some fan fiction at the end of each chapter that I skipped.... I read the DM conversations between characters but couldn't care less about the random fan fiction.
Like, it had potential for a good concept but I felt it could be executed better.
I did like this; although I found it too long.
The mental health and depression representation was done very well.
When Nat and Olli would say that they “kissed a boy” it gave me the ick considering both are in their 30s (I think?)
LOTS of inner monologue, which I enjoyed at first but near the end it was getting old.
It was a good story - about chasing new dreams and accepting yourself and the past
