    This book was so cute albeit a little long. I feel like some of it could have been cut out. The only reason I took a star off is because the FMCs insecurities got a little tedious.

    I really wanted to like this book but I just lost interest around 30% through the story but struggled through it just to finish. The dialogue felt superficial and flat, a majority of the book was just texting conversations, and I didn’t really feel any chemistry between the main characters. The third act break up resolved in a way that felt lazy and like they were just recycling the original fake dating plot instead of any real growth or accountability happening.

    Compared to other sports romance books, this one felt rushed, forced, and surface level and all around read more like a subpar YA than an adult romance.

    Regardless, thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.
