3.0

Not sure I would have read this if I had known in advance that it's the fifth in a Bridgerton-esque series of sports romances for each sibling in a family. There was a lot of service to fans of the series with references to the other siblings' stories, and that felt kind of shoehorned in there. Which isn't to say the book wasn't enjoyable - it had its moments, and I felt that the internal conflicts for the main characters were believable. 

Some gripes: 
  • The audio version should have had two narrators. I didn't feel that Tim Paige distinguished between Oliver and Gavin enough, and since it's dual POV, that got a bit confusing over time.
  • This is not enemies-to-lovers no matter how it's marketed.
    Insta-love is a way more accurate trope for this book, even if it took them a while to figure out that's what it is.
  • Also, lots of reviews say that this is Roy Kent and Ted Lasso if they were gay and I strongly disagree. This is fan fiction about S1 Roy Kent and S3 Jamie Tartt if they were gay.
