Short description: This book tells the story of Mabel, a librarian who moves in with her brother after a breakup with her emotionally abusive boyfriend. Her brother's roommate, Ben, is a professional hockey player. Ben wants to become captain of his team but is an introvert who dislikes public speaking and interacting with people. Mabel becomes his “extrovert coach” to help him achieve this goal, and they develop feelings for each other. They struggle to navigate their relationship while dealing with the disapproval of Mabel's brother, the demands of Ben's hockey career, and Mabel's ex-boyfriend's attempts to find her.
