“Oh my God,” she cries, head falling back.
I didn’t know I earned a new nickname, but she can call me that anytime she wants.

This book felt longer than it is but I enjoyed it especially the tension and banter between the MCs. 

If shit-talking is a love language, then it’s ours, and I thoroughly plan on bantering with my wild girl for the rest of my life.

This book includes ⬇️
Talk about trauma
Broken parental relationships
Panic attacks and Anxiety
Struggle with self-love
&
Forbidde relationship trope ✔️
Curv fmc x Pro Athlete mmc ✔️
 


Also the mmc has no problem walking around dressed as Elsa from frozen 🤭💀
Somehow even wearing a sparkly dress and a platinum wig, he can still turn me on.
Stupid award-winning dick.

Enjoy 🏒💕

Hero keeps a notes app where he rates his sexual partners across the country, so he knows who to hook up with when he visits those cities for his games. Why do female authors keep writing male characters like this, thinking it’s somehow sexy or appealing? He’s depicted as the biggest womanizer yet claims not to be what the media portrays him as. Deep down, he’s supposedly a sweet and good guy, but the author never shows this. Just going to therapy doesn't make him a great person; he should ask for a refund because he’s still an asshole.

Then there's the heroine, whose work clothes are too small because her weight fluctuates. Why didn’t she just get a bigger size? This seems like a subtle way for the author to call her fat, which I find offensive. I hate female characters who are so insecure that they constantly compare themselves to other women as if they’re in competition. Her energy screams "not like the other girls," as she can be rude to him, unlike other women who are supposedly starstruck by him. How realistic.

This book comes across as extremely misogynistic. I seriously question anyone who read it and didn't feel uncomfortable with the stereotypes and derogatory descriptions of all the characters. Stop objectifying people—it's not cute.
