I thought there was going to be a third act break up. It was almost a dnf, I was so upset about it. That being said - they didn't break up. I didn't love that they 'went on a break,' but there are worse things that could've happened. That is the only reason I wouldn't give this book 5 stars, because it was otherwise entirely flawless!

🏈 The premise of this book is engaging, and I was immediately drawn to the idea of a fake dating sports romance. James and Bex quickly emerge as endearing characters, and their chemistry practically leaps off the page. However, the fake dating trope, which initially intrigued me, felt underdeveloped and unconvincing throughout the novel. The story might have benefited from a slower burn, which could have better complemented the central relationship. Unfortunately, as the narrative progressed, the characters' behavior began to feel inconsistent and increasingly frustrating, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the story.

This book was cute, but it wasn’t stellar. I had some issues with a few character choices, and wish there had been more development on the side characters, but James and Bex were very cute together.
I will definitely keep the rest of the series in mind when I need another palette cleanse. 3 stars.
