The chemistry between Riley and Zeke was so interesting. From her hating him from her brothers accident and him secretly pining over her without even fully realizing, was a new one for me. The boy obsessed, brothers bestfriend, one hates the other tropes were top tier.
I enjoyed the premise and plot of the story too. Seeing woman in male dominated sports is something that will forever be powerful. Seeing Riley put Luke in his place when she no longer could put up with his shit was such a badass move. And the way she did it made it even more powerful. From the way she was written, it is very obvious how good Riley is at what she does.
I also really liked Zeke. He’s possessive, kind, understanding. But seeing the amount of pressure he placed on himself, and the blame he continually took for the biggest mistakes in his life, and seeing the way he spoke of himself broke my heart. The dyslexic representation was well done in my honest opinion. His mistake that resulted in Gavin being paralyzed was heartbreaking, especially when the full story came out and was told.
The one thing I did not like was the third act breakup. I get that authors have to do it, but I HATE IT when it is not necessary. It was thrown in, and the amount of blame she placed on Zeke was just icky. He shouldn’t have done what he did, but with everything considered and her teasing him in the moment that he plagiarized both should have taken the blame.
Overall it was a good read and I enjoyed the premise of the story as well as the characters. It just could’ve done without the third act breakup.
