My rating: 4 of 5 stars
After a career-ending injury sidelines hockey captain Mathieu at the peak of his success, he retreats home consumed by anger and loss. When Indigo, a gentle and supportive botany student, comes to care for him, an unexpected connection forms—helping Mathieu heal and discover that losing his path might lead to something better.
This was such an emotional read, centering on Mathieu at a major crossroads—not just with his hockey career after his injury, but also with his sexuality and sense of self. Watching him struggle felt raw and real, especially as his lies pile up until they cost him the one person who truly mattered, leaving him with nothing. The pull between Mathieu and Indigo is undeniable, full of intensity and vulnerability that makes every moment between them feel significant. Their connection is deeply emotional, and I loved how much heart the story brought to their journey. That said, Mathieu’s repeated mixed signals could be frustrating at times. The contrast between him defending Indigo in one moment—like standing up against disrespect—and then turning around to suppress Indigo’s individuality and deny their relationship made his actions feel conflicting. Still, those flaws added to the realism of his character and the weight of his growth. A messy, heartfelt story filled with big emotions and a powerful connection. This was an MM story with mature content.
