Update - finished by listening to the audiobook! So, the first 1/2 or so of this book was hard for me to get through, I can't really put my finger on why, but it was hard for me to want to pick up the book and it was easy to put down. Then all of a sudden something switched and I couldn't put it down and I stayed up late to finish it. Really really liked the ending, but going with a 3.75 star since I struggled so hard to get into it.

I'd categorize this as more contemporary genre than romance, as it has a stronger plot than the romances I'm used to, and the love story does sort of take a backseat, which makes me love the story all the more. Rhi and Samson are visceral characters and all the relationships throughout – work, platonic, with each other, with themselves – sparkle. Both Rhi's and Samson's individual plots and the way their stories play off each other had me misty-eyed more than once.

Everything I've listed is implemented intentionally and handled with care. The main character is a Black woman in a male-dominated field navigating the dating app industry, and the story addresses that. The main plots are about the treatment of traumatic brain injuries in professional football and sexual harrassment in the workplace.
