That's... that's now how that works. A lot of this is ringing inaccuracy alarms for me, and it doesn't help that BU is actually my school.

Besides (or maybe because of?) the poor research, the writing itself seems really sub-par, too. It's a mess.

I didn't go to BU but I'm from Massachusetts and same. Once the college part started, it was like "this isn't right." And if more of it is taking place at BU...

She's also had issues with how the USNTDP works before.

But you're right, the writing felt more messy than, say, Marc and Dan.

Ugh, I can't believe I relapsed for this. I agree, the writing is really... off. I even checked her tumblr because that's usually where she hides the good shit, and I can't buy into it. The tone, setting, characters just don't click (which is a problem I run into with a lot of college AUs, tbh, on account of currently attending a Hockey School and running pretty parallel to The Hockey Crowd). Playing college hockey takes more planning and dedication than this shows, Robbie probably would've marinated for in Juniors for a bit longer (unless the author is introducing yet another player who undersells himself), she doesn't write bro culture very believably...

I caught up with David, too, and while I can confirm that her writing is better in large chunks, I'm also pretty Over It. Why did he decide he needs to dedicate his life to a team sport if he can't attach to or trust the vast majority of his teammates ever? How hasn't this been a major red flag against him? Why does anyone want to be friends with Bella Swan David Chapman anyway?

... at least it's easy to quit this time around?
