Eight Weeks by Joelina Falk is a heart-fluttering, feel-good college hockey romance that’ll have you grinning through the butterflies. Sofia Carlsen’s been running from her past since age seven, when a traumatic event forced her to leave New City—and her childhood best friend, Aaron Marsh—behind, breaking a promise to return in four years. Now, thirteen years later, Sofia’s back, carrying scars and guilt, and Aaron, a charming hockey player with big dreams and a bigger heart, hasn’t forgotten her. When Sofia needs a date for the holidays, Aaron steps up, sparking a fake-dating deal that throws them into forced proximity for—you guessed it—eight weeks. Their childhood crush reignites into a soulmate-level slow-burn, built on promises Aaron’s determined to keep, with cozy moments like ice-skating and heartfelt confessions that scream “it’s always been you.” The 400-page standalone, tied to Nine Days with cute Lily and Colin cameos, delivers two epilogues and no third-act breakup, but some fans slam the plot as shaky—calling Sofia’s rebellion against her loving dad “stupid” and Aaron’s daily drinking over her absence overkill—or say the childhood love at age seven feels unrealistic (13 or 15 would’ve hit harder). Others adore Falk’s swoony prose and Aaron’s all-in devotion, making it a BookTok fave despite occasional clunky writing or side arcs (like Julia’s baffling engagement) that don’t land.

Who Should Read It? This is for college romance fans who love childhood-friends-to-lovers and fake-dating tropes, readers craving The Deal or Binding 13 vibes with hockey heartthrobs, or anyone who wants a sweet, low-angst read with soulmate feels. If you’re into Meagan Brandy or Elle Kennedy and don’t mind light triggers like past trauma or mild drinking, grab this—perfect for ages 17+ chasing warm fuzzies. Read Nine Days first for context, and check trigger warnings. If you hate thin plots or young childhood crushes, it might not click.
