Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Atração em Jogo

4.5 stars. That was amazing. I absolutely loved this book. Dylan and Zoe are so cute together. Loved the dual pov. The little things Dylan did for Zoe was so cute.The buildup of their relationship was everything. Loved the forced proximity aspect of it. I also loved how they became friends first before really going into the relationship. Friends to lovers is a truly underrated trope. I also like how the side characters were also heavily involved in the story because I feel like in a lot of books you only meet the side characters once or twice and then they're never mentioned again so, I like how we got to see what was going on in their lives as well. The only thing I didn't like was the whole miscommunication part of this. If Zoe was upfront from the start, the drama could have been easily avoided. I hate how she was constantly lying to him even though the lies were minor ones. He's a third party in her drama so there wasn't really a reason to not say anything to him. Overall though I loved this book a lot. It was cute and lighthearted but heavy and emotional at the same time.

PLEASE HEED THE WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK.

Oh, this was bad. I had an adventure with this book. Specially because I believe that the author did a piss poor job at managing the suspense and outright decieved the reader. I mean, that's normal and okay, right? meh. This was written in 1st person, that's what's weird. I would've rather the Heroine's POV told the truth and the Hero's believed the lie... specially since it could be a trigger for some people. I don't deal nicely with cheating in books and this was a bit of a mess.

On the one hand, I absolutely hate when authors try to pull off the rambling and babbling heroine. I honestly think that the only character that pulled that off was Felicity Smoak in "Arrow". This was plainly a mess, it was so forced it made me mostly skim those rantings.
While on the Heroine's topic, I believe that at one point of the story the author became obsessed with hurting the MC. Lol. She recieved so many slaps and chokings it lost all effect.

Dylan was just okay, if a little underwhelming. Fast to run away. The misscomunication trope was forced in this too. How come he just says "Zoe" and all is okay in the world? No way in hell, buddy. You better grovel.

This was clearly her debut, very clearly. And it's okay, but the hype is... not true.

Although the main character annoyed me at times, this book was just adorable. The plot was a little questionable sometimes, but for the most part it was well written, and I really enjoyed it. Super heartwarming!
