I really enjoyed this storyline as a whole and I adored Noah and Ari. Their relationship is beautifully built and made me feel good. I really liked most of the main, main characters. But there were SO many side people that I honestly had a hard time keeping up with them. I also want to mention how not prepared I was for the whiplash of this book. There is so much going on that it made me like it a little less. If book 2 is about twin brother Mason, I'm here for it and think I already know how it's going to go, but nonetheless am looking forward to more of the group.

it's like watching a shitty reality show that you know is objectively terrible and yet you can't stop watching.

fave quote has got to be "He played puppet with your puss, didn’t he?" simply bc of how strongly i physically recoiled after reading it.

also: fuck chase dude that guy's a pick-me loser

I wanted to read this book because I have seen it all over booktok and the book community. The last time it was in The Works, this was part of the 3 for £6 deal and I jumped at the chance.

This book is a college romance based on Arianna Johnson and for years, she has dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn’t matter how wild she allowed her imagination to run, it always led her to the same place in the end. It led her to Noah Riley. Her future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly . . . he wasn’t. Now she is a shell of who she was, on a path too blurry to follow, and she sees no way out. No way up. They say that first loves last forever. That's exactly what she’s afraid of.

I enjoyed the college romance aspect and how the girls were trying to live their lives and the found family and their actual families. I loved the friendship group (besides Chase, he is a complete asshole and can go and fuck himself) and how they were all so protective, but they all love each other and would fight for each other. I love that each of these boys have their own personality and I hope that each of them (again besides Chase) gets their own story and Cam and Trey get their own story. I love Cam and Brady and I hope we see more of them. I really do love how they are so fun and flirty but would also kick ass if needed.

Arianna took a bit of time to warm up to me, mainly because of the innocent girl, I can’t make decision bullshit. I also deeply, and I mean deeply, HATEEEEE love triangles. They are the worst thing in the world and sometimes ruin a story more than miscommunication and this book had love triangles and miscommunication due to her memory loss. I also didn’t really love the memory loss and was seriously thinking that Arianna was going to end up with Chase, who didn’t get the kick in the balls that he deserved.

This book didn’t need to be so long, it could have been cut maybe like 100 pages, but I loved Noah and Arianna together and hopefully they will appear in the second book.

Say you Swear. By Meagan Brandy

Genre/Type: MMF Romance

Included in Kindle Unlimited: Yes/No

Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Spice: 🌶 .5

Series or standalone: Stand alone

Themes: Love triangle, Brothers, Best friends, Recovery, Virginity, College football, Pregnancy loss, Death of a parent, Memory Loss

Triggers ⚠️ Yes

The Story of Ariana quite literally putting her big girl pants on when she starts college and trading in the douche bag of a guy she thought she loved, for a guy who quite literally would give her the world but not without a few plot twists and traumatic events thrown in as obstacles along the way. This book is an emotional roller coaster of events that will tug at your heart strings and be quite a long read but you have to stick with it just to cheer on the MMC. There isn’t a lot of spice to rave home about in this book it is very tame.

What did I like

My my my Noah Riley you stole my heart. Noah was truly the star of this book for me. He was the reason I wanted to carry on reading. The relationship with his mother melted my heart.

What did I dislike

A little too long

Not enough spice

Chase your a jerk man too little too late

Read if your into

💎 Love triangle

💎 Emotional read

💎 Amazing MMC

💎 College football romance

I went into this hoping to love it but it fell flat for me. There were like 19 characters to remember, which was overwhelming, and I don't think I cared much if they got together at the end. I will say that Noah Riley is the blueprint for how to effectively communicate in a relationship.

Also ... did these people ever go to class?????

The stars are exclusively for

Noah swinging on Chase and Noah's mom
