They initially strike a deal to be in a fake relationship.

The story does also touch on some heavier themes, so definitely a content warning for any chicks that that's not right for at the moment.

But I did want to flag that because it is being compared a lot to heated rivalry in the way that it's really sexy, and there are definitely a lot of sex scenes, and it's also about hockey, so heated rivalry, there you go.

But I wouldn't want anyone to be blindsided by more complex themes.

But there have been lots of differences between the books and the show that people, as per always, have lots of feelings about.

I think any time there's an adaptation, there are going to be things that are different to the book and there are reasons that has to be.

I feel like the last 30 seconds of season one has led us to believe that season two is about them.

Where do you guys fall on that spectrum?

I think there's so much pressure for authors and screenwriters who turn books into series because when you have, especially if there's a big fandom around a book, people, when they're reading, we're imagining.

So we have our own vision of what Briar U, the college, looks like.

We have our own vision.

imagined version of Garrett and all the characters.

And so when you see them cast and you're like, hang on, that's not what Garrett looked like to me.

And also the thing is, as much as I appreciate 46% of the chicks being like, has to be exactly the same.

There are four books in that series, four books of what, 300 pages each.

We've got eight episodes a season.

Books are written in a certain way for reading.

When you adapt them for screen, there's visual elements.

You can do storytelling through what you're saying as well and music and all that kind of stuff.

So I think that it would be impossible and also probably very boring.
