I can’t put my finger on exactly what it was that bothered me but I think it was a combination of too many things going on at the end that weren’t really fully wrapped up, her ending up pregnant which was just unnecessary and also a bit frustrating since it clearly at least temporarily ends her pro skating career and also contradicts them talking about adoption, and just generally the whole thing with Aaron was so long and at some point it just became too much and started annoying me a bit - I also generally agree with the reviews talking abt how it’s too long cause I think a lot of these issues could’ve been solved by making it a bit shorter.Graphic: Eating disorder, Toxic friendship, and Sexual content

The sexual assaults is a very abrupt and non consensual kiss but thankfully doesn’t go any further but is still something to be aware ofhannaws's review against another edition

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

- Spice
- Strong female 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.
