review

The Rebound Play by Kate O’Keeffe was such a sweet hockey romance! Was it hockey realistic? No, of course not. But was it cute? Was it sweet? Did it make me happy to read? Yes! Normally, I don’t care for second chance romances but I wanted to give this book a shot and I’m glad I did. The initial break-up was normal and understandable. It wasn’t do to anyone being a jerk or cheating. It made sense for a pair of 18 year olds having life go in different directions. The reconnect was cute and Dan absolutely knew what he wanted and didn’t care that he was wearing his heart on his sleeve. Pacing was wildly fast, and as a result, character depth and plot definitely take a hit. Still, if you want a cute cinnamon roll second chance romance with hockey as background flavor and spice free, this will be a fun pickup!
