Teo Hallberg returned to Gothenburg chasing a comeback that no longer felt like his. Once the NHL's golden boy, now he's fighting through injuries, bad press, and the quiet weight of depression he won't admit to anyone.
Liv has built her career on control, hiding her battle with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension behind professionalism and strict boundaries. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a hockey player, especially one whose life is already a media circus. But Teo isn't what she expected. He's quiet where she imagined arrogance and careful where she thought she'd find ego. And against her better judgment, their routine check-ups turn into late-night walks, playful texts, and a pull she can't ignore.
But life off the ice is harder than any game. Nova Källström's media-perfect appearances, Anton Vahlgren's easy charm, and Liv's own health struggles threaten to pull them apart before they ever fully get a chance. To stay together, Teo has to stop chasing who he was and fight for who he wants to be and Liv has to trust that letting someone in doesn't mean losing herself.
Set against the backdrop of Gothenburg's hockey scene, Life Playbook is a slow-burn, emotional sports romance about second chances, choosing love over fear, and finding home where you least expect it.
