Blurred Lines

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.
