The Mistake
by Kennedy, Elle
Logan Saint Pierre is the golden boy of Briar University hockey, but beneath the charm and the stats, he is feeling trapped by his future. Grace Ivers is just trying to navigate her freshman year without drawing too much attention to herself. One clumsy, mortifying encounter changes everything, turning a potential disaster into an unexpected friendship that quickly starts to feel like something much more complicated. This book moves at a breakneck pace, leaning heavily into the witty, banter-filled exchanges that Elle Kennedy does better than almost anyone. It is not just about the sports backdrop or the forced proximity of college life; it is about two people finding the courage to be vulnerable when they are used to keeping their guards up. If you want a read that is lighthearted, genuinely funny, and carries just enough emotional weight to feel real, this is your next favorite.
