It was cute but it deals with some heavy topics. Do you want spoilers??
yes i love spoilers! 😌
So, h lost her parents in a car accident and now has the custody of her younger brother (he’s like 10-12) and he plays hockey. Before all of this she was a travel nurse and now has to settle bc of her brother. But even before her brother she didn’t date much.H is a hockey player that it’s punished (bc he is very temperamental) with training a hockey team of kids (h’s bro is there)
thank you Esther! and is there a third act break up??
Sorry I was going to continue explaining but I had to buy groceries
H said at one point that at the beginning of his career he wasn’t a saint so he maybe was a manho. But I think it’s been a while for him. His story is that their parents didn’t have the best relationship and his mom abandoned him at 8. His dad started to use drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and blame the H for the mother leaving. At 10 the dad was sentenced to go to jail for selling drugs and H went to live with his grandpa. His grandpa died when H was 18 and has been alone ever since. He is late 20 (maybe early 30 but I’m not sure) No ow/om drama
Technically not third act break up but there is conflict
okay thanks again love it was so helpful!! 💖
