‘How Shane rewrote every bad word said to Ilya’ 😭

This is so beautifully put, and I had to share.

I find this show (and book) healing on so many levels. Then I came across this on Threads, and once again had tears in my eyes. It really plays in to the fact that to be loved is to be seen 😭

Are there any other moments where the two of them does something similar? Ilya stocking his fridge with ginger ale in ep.4 comes to my mind. It’s such a small gesture, but it’s beautiful.

The caption from Threads: “People say Shane don't recognize Ilya's struggle but he does and he have since the moment they met. “

swooon.com: ‘Heated Rivalry’ Author Rachel Reid Answers Burning Questions About *spoiler* [april 20th 2026]

Swooon.com did an interview with Rachel Reid at BookCon. Great interview btw.

I get that she doesn’t think they will write their own vows, but I’m kinda hoping Jacob does. Like the tunnel scene in ep.5.

How are you hoping to see the wedding adapted?

NHL playoff promo uses clips from Heated Rivalry [april 19th 2026]

I just came across this promo from NHL on TNT, and about halfway through there’s two clips from HR. Ilya winking at the camera and Ilya board checking Shane (from ep.4 montage). The voice over of the clips talking about rivalries becoming heated.

Is it just me, or does this feel kinda weird?

It’s like NHL wants to profit of the phenom of HR, but not really giving credit to what an impact the show has had..

BookCon: voice note from Connor Storrie [april 18th 2026]

So no Connor Storrie IRL at BookCon, but he did send this voice note with a very thoughtful question.

BookCon has confirmed that the full panel chat will be on YouTube at one point, cannot wait to watch it in full. Until then there are many clips circling Threads (and probably other channels), I’ve been following along with https://www.threads.com/@francisdominiic who’s updating all the time right now.
