i hated the miscommunication. another one of those overused tropes in romance books. I get that miscommunication happens a lot irl too but not in these kind of scenarios.
also, some themes (like the situation with kayla) could've been discussed so much more thoroughly. I'm sad it got overshadowed by the miscommunication.
the epilogue was cute but why do all sport romances that ive read end up with marriage and children??? I'd love one where they get married and don't have children

- Initially, I loved the chemistry between Zoe and Dylan. They got along well and seemed to have a good understanding of one another.
- Zoe's relationship with Mark was interesting to me. It gave the story an added layer of mystery and confusion.
- I loved Kayla and Jared as side characters! I thought they were fun, and I wish we got to explore more of their story throughout the novel.
- In the end, the book fell flat for me because it dragged on, and on, and on. Once the two main characters hooked up (the same day Zoe finds out her best friend got sexually assaulted, mind you), they didn't seem to be able to stop. Their communication became lacklustre and repetitive, going in circles continuously until the resolution at the end of the novel.

"I'll catch you when you land Flash. Just don't take too much time, because I'm already there, impatiently waiting for you..."
If someone were to say that to me I would melt on sight. Dylan is definitely the "you touch her you die" type and I'm here for it. I love how Dylan nicknames Zoe "Flash" not only because I love superheroes and one of my favorites is the Flash... okay maybe that's the main and only reason why I love the nickname so much. I wish someone would nickname Flash.
Now on to the things that I didn't like and the reason why this isn't a 5 star read. One, I absolutely hate Keith... Keith can go die in a ditch and rot for eternity for all I care. The same thing goes towards coach Mark. Like how are you going to threaten Zoe using Dylan against her and ruining Dylan? What type of coach is that? I also don't like how quick Dylan is to react to things, like he would react badly if he thought Zoe was with another guy by just storming off and shutting down instead of letting Zoe talk but other than that I love this book. I'm in a football romance kick at the moment.
