Benched

The tension and flirtation felt so genuine, I wondered how much of that was inspired by real-life hockey romances. Did the author draw from personal experiences or research?

The depiction of the sport added a unique flavor to the story, but I'm curious whether the author is a hockey fan or did a lot of research to bring authenticity.

The book balanced laughs and heartfelt scenes well, but I wondered if the tone was intentionally varied or if it was a challenge to blend them seamlessly.
