Book 3 of a 7 Book Series
Book Summary:
Ollie
Word of advice: don’t come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they’re charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.
My family believe I can’t be happy if I’m not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.
I really should’ve asked for his name.
Lennon
Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly.
In my defense, I don’t recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey.
I’m not supposed to see him again, and he’s never supposed to find out I’m a reporter.
That all changes when my editor reassigns me.
It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Nothing’s changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.
Mini Review:
In Trick Play, we saw what happens when a person comes out and their family doesn’t support them – even going as far as to kick them out (Jet). In Deke, we get the reverse: what happens when a family supports you too much – and how that can be just as misguided and lead to unwarranted pressure. Eden did ease up on the sorrow in this one, giving a more light-hearted approach to a heavy topic. Ollie and Lennon’s story made you feel more like a spectator: you just sat back and watched everything unfold. There was no rush, not a lot of drama – almost like an emotional pit stop in the series.
