This book is so good. Garret is one of the best men he makes Hannah feel safe and never forced her to do anything he also fell first. Hannah and garrets relationship is gold. There isn't to much sports stuff that's it's  just a sports book. The boys also have such a good friendship that's so supportive.

uhmmm wtf did i just read???? cant believe i wasted 4 hours of my life on this and 200 megabytes of storage on my already cramped phone. i only read this book cause i had no idea what to read and wanted a break from classic literature. went on booktube to look for good young adult books and this was highly recommended by steph bohrer (who i rlly love) & hayley pahm. so i decided even though it’s no classic it must be good enough for these people to like it so much. boy was i wrong. firstly, WHERE WERE THE TRIGGER WARNINGS??? the amount of times r*pe was mentioned just made me so upset and kind of distressed, especially because the topic wasnt really handled well. wouldnt have read had i known it was mentioned since i’m trying to look for a happy book. It wasnt a main plot line but i still think w the amount of times it was mentioned there shouldve at least been a mild trigger waring. for both r*pe and other sensitive topics this book mentioned. not like it was anything horrible but it just seemed like it was written without any sensitivity to actual victims idk maybe that was just how i personally interpreted it. the book itself wasnt that bad and thankfully there’s only smut in how many scenes. though there was nothing special abt this book either. tbh i enjoyed some of the wholesome moments and the university/campus vibe and all. but i rlly cant let go of the way the author handled a lot sensitive topics such as abuse, alcoholism, feminism, and r*pe. it really made me very uncomfortable. or maybe this was just rlly not for me idk. cute romance but you can find something like this on wattpad. i’ve read better shit on AO3 when i was like 13 i swear. dont waste your time on this yall
