I went into this expecting to find it a cute little read and it ended up being so much better than I anticipated!  Some of these characters I’ll think about for years to come.

Adored this book & the two main characters! Ari’s friend group was so cute and supportive and they all had their own clear characters which was as nice. The push and pull  and twists and turns were great! Such a funny, cute, wholesome story with great tension and build up - but then sad and deep story. Book boyfriend top spot is now reserved for Noah Riley - perfection!!!

This is the true definition of an emotional roller coaster. I went from almost DNFing (sometimes reading the 18ish age range is tough for me, and you’re introduced to A LOT of characters and places very quickly) to literally finishing in one sitting. Noah Riley officially tops the list of book boyfriends, I don’t see him ever being dethroned. Ari is written so beautifully, I absolutely loved her development and emotions, and how she processed everything. I’m not usually one for contemporary sports romances but I found this to be a truly beautiful book that I think anyone who finds themself in a space needing to heal process will truly love. Some really wonderful side characters that I’d love to revisit in the future if they have their own books. Spoilers ahead, but if you want to know why this isn’t a perfect five stars:

I think Chase might just be the most awful character I’ve read in recent memory, and for some reason I could NOT get over his friends not calling him on his absolute disgusting behavior. He was predatory and disturbing throughout, but especially towards the end of the book. And I felt it was disguised with the frequent “but he really is a good guy I swear!” excuse, even though he has not a single redeeming moment or quality. This took me out of the plot flow at times but was resolved in a way that made sense and was true to the story.

Words cannot explain how good this book is. My emotions were all over the place and heartbreaking as it was in place how heartwarming it was in others that I could just scream into the nothingness. This beautiful story was long but god it just wasn’t long enough and I just wanted more and more.  Noah is not just a book boyfriend but a bloody husband. I wanna find a love like his and Arianna’s. Honestly I believe with all my heart that this book is going to stay with me for the rest of my life, that is how powerful it was. 

While I hated the tragedy that happen within the story my heart was broken and put back together in the moments after. I will forever refer this book to whoever wants to hear it. I wish I read this book sooner. Also to any guys in the universe, yeah my standards have again been increased so I have a feeling I might be single longer now. THANKS!

If I could rate it with more stars I absolutely would!
