Casamento para um acho que sempre vai ser meu preferido, mas apesar de ser bem clichê, do tipo BEEEEM clichê, Dylan e Zoe são fofos.

well i am getting stingy and stingy in giving rates.
i don't know just don't feel the story, i simply just not feel anything.
and i read this in the middle of watching GSW-Rockets game 4. its a super tight game anyway.

Gostei bastante da leitura e deu para me abstrair do stress
Achei uma história fofinha e gostei do romance entre a Zoe e o Dylan simplesmente achei demasiado cringe e em várias partes tinha que parar pois a situação era um pouco too much embaraçosa 🙈

dylan really went all meredith grey:
“Leave him,” I continued. “I’m right here and I want you, so damn much. I’m not sure how much more I can take. (…)” I paused. “I need you to let him go, Zoe. Whatever it is that’s going on between you two, I don’t want to know. Just…I need you to choose me now. I’m the one that’s supposed to be with you, not anyone else.”

An awkward girl that gets chatty when nervous and the hottest guy on the football team is new adult romance perfection. The twist was pretty easy to see coming but nothing will ever beat the way they first met! A delight that I loved reading. The characters were well developed with clear motives and well paced. I need more like this!

The Hardest Falls is a slow-burn college romance following Dylan, a popular football paper, and Zoe, a quirky photography student with a secret.
This book was just very long and cliche to me. I enjoyed aspects of the slow-burn romance but I didn't really love all the drama happening around our main characters. For instance, Zoe's secret felt very confusing at times, I found myself having to reread pages just to understand what was happening. I also felt that their romance was very insta-lovey which isn't my favorite trope.
I did enjoy aspects such as how Zoe tends to ramble (much like myself), and her great love of pizza. I also really liked how Dylan was respectful of her boundaries and feelings throughout the book (especially because examples of toxic relationships are also present).
All in all, can't complain. The bad and the good averaged themselves out to an okay read.

Good...
This one was a lot more angsty and dramatic than some of Maise's other titles. It was good, like a cross between the movie Boys and Girls and a Jamie McGuire book. That said I was looking for something a little more lighthearted.
One of the things I didn't like about the title was the introduction to Mark where Zoe even makes it out to the reader as something different than it really was. It's one thing to mislead another character, but when you're in the first person and misleading the reader it makes her an unreliable narrator and hard to trust as a character. I would have also liked a lot more interaction between Zoe and Chris.
Additionally there was a whole subplot involving one of Zoe's friends that just didn't really fit. Unless Maise intends to come back to these characters and give Kayla a story (preferably opposite Chris) her whole relationship drama didn't have a whole lot of point in the book. It doesn't directly affect the relationship that's the focus of the story. Its just something happening in a friend's life. Like extra words that don't need to be there.
Overall it's a good story, but it doesn't top Jason Thorne or Adam Conner.
