Book Discription

Summer Jones stopped believing in love—at least after her parent's divorce shattered her view of a happily-ever-after. As the physical therapist for the St. Louis NHL team, she's focused on one keeping the players in top shape. But when a disgruntled coworker begins harassing her, Summer's world unravels.

Matthew Hudson, a hotshot hockey player, has always dreamed of lifting the Stanley Cup. But his confidence is at an all-time low after a painful trade from his first-choice team. Struggling with self-doubt, Matthew has to find a way to prove himself both on and off the ice.

When Summer and Matthew’s worlds collide, they find solace in each other’s brokenness. Together, they’ll face the challenges life throws their way, and maybe—just maybe—they’ll discover that love, even in its messiest form, is worth the fight.

My Thoughts

Joydyn Griffin's "What If" delivers a heartwarming and emotionally resonant contemporary romance that skillfully navigates the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. Summer Jones, a dedicated physical therapist, and Matthew Hudson, a struggling NHL player, are brought together by circumstance and find unexpected solace in each other’s vulnerabilities.

Griffin crafts believable characters with relatable struggles. Summer's disillusionment with love, stemming from her parents' divorce, feels authentic and adds depth to her character. Her professional dedication and resilience are admirable, making her a strong and independent protagonist. Matthew's journey, marked by self-doubt and the pressure of professional sports, is equally compelling. The author effectively portrays his internal conflict, making him a sympathetic and relatable hero.

The narrative skillfully balances the emotional depth of the characters' individual struggles with the blossoming romance between them. The slow-burn connection between Summer and Matthew is built on mutual understanding and support, allowing their relationship to develop organically. The harassment subplot, while adding tension, doesn't overshadow the central romance, instead, it serves to highlight Summer's strength and Matthew's protective nature.

"What If" is more than just a sports romance; it's a story about healing, finding strength in vulnerability, and rediscovering faith in love. Griffin's writing is engaging and heartfelt, drawing the reader into the characters' world and leaving them rooting for their happily ever after. The book effectively explores the idea that even in the face of adversity, love has the potential to mend broken pieces.
