Summary
What happens when intimacy is turned into a spectacle?
Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander believed the greatest challenge to their relationship was the distance between them and their mutual expectations, but they were wrong. Trapped in a cinema that defies all logic, they find themselves forced to watch their own history—a television series based on their lives—projected before an impossible audience: family, loved ones, friends, bosses, coworkers, and total strangers.
However, this is not the version everyone knows. It is an expanded, raw, and brutally honest cut, constructed from unaired scenes, internal monologues, and hour-long intermissions that only serve to unleash chaos among the spectators.
In this theater, the cinema cease to be entertainment and becomes a legal proceeding. The theater is a courtroom, their friends act as attorneys, their coaches as judges, and the audience—now a jury—scrutinizes every frame. With the projector as the only evidence, what is on trial is their love: a bond that does not seek to deliver a verdict or point fingers at the guilty or innocent, but rather to set a precedent that will change the world of hockey forever.

Summary
When you become friends with benefits at 18, it’s easy to quickly become codependent on each other – especially when the only one who understands your issues is your arch rival. Because who else would you talk to? And how will it change when the rivalry isn’t as prominent as it used to be? When their recurring game of Fuck-Marry-Kill for shits n’ giggles is carried over to real life, Shane and Ilya are forced to face the many mysteries of love.
Or: What if tuna melt never happened? What if there's no jealousy? What if Shane and Ilya’s relationship was based on communication? What if Troy Barrett got traded to Boston and had to deal with the mortifying ordeal of being known?
A story about contradictions and the duality of man, about learning to love yourself and all your flaws. It is also a story about friendship, deep care and trust, and all the small things that make us human. And books.

Summary
Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening?
In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.

Summary
Finding your soulmate is supposed to be beautiful. You stand in front of someone and you say their full name; they say yours. Your soulmarks appear somewhere on your bodies, and it's supposed to be beautiful. Life-changing.
It's not supposed to happen a week before the World Juniors tournament in a dirty Saskatchewan parking lot. It's not supposed to be Canada's newest darling hockey player and your future rival who whispers your name. It's not supposed to be a boy that your skin blooms for.
And if that does happen, despite the fact that it shouldn't, you're definitely not supposed to lie to your soulmate's face, refuse to say his name in return, and pretend that you never felt your soulmark appear at all. And if that happens, somehow, you're definitely not supposed to kiss him less than a year later. And then later. And then later. And then later, until you realize you never want to leave his bed despite the fact that you've never told him the truth about the bear tattoo on your chest.
or, finding out that his soulmate is Shane Hollander isn't beautiful. Ilya can't pretend that it's not life-changing though.
