Was good overall but had a lot of sexual content and unrealistic storylines. Lovable characters for sure.

Really liked this novel-good spice level, medium to low stakes, quick read! Loved the modern setting, the characters were a lot of fun. I do think some of the heavier subject matter was a little clunky but not mis-handled.

3.0

Too much filler and not enough plot to balance well. But also a new plot point hitting every few chapters with minimal resolution. We never got more info on Aaron’s actions. Half of the storyline in the book description didn’t happen until 50% in, which is bizarre. 

Started off well but ended up being a rage finish to be able to stop reading the book.

4.0

This book has the best features of a contemporary romance:

• Good communication/emotional maturity
• Hot steam
• Representation
• Smut
• Fresh twists in classic tropes
• Sex positive attitude
• Spice
• Strong female characters
• thoughtful male characters

It’s fun, entertaining, and spicy. The characters are college student athletes, so there are plenty of college antics… but also a level of maturity and straight forward communication that is sometimes missing from older books in the romance genre. I liked it!

Moderate: Toxic friendship and Eating disorder

There is a controlling relationship which includes a restrictive eating plan. Multiple references to disordered eating.

Spoiler

Anastasia’s partner tries to control her with an unhealthy eating plan, and part of her character growth is deviating from that plan learning to appreciate cooking and eating. She is successful!
