This book made me feel like I was falling in love with my partner all over again. My boyfriend is a goalie (was number 1 when I met him too 🥹) & I’m a former dancer, but this book hit so close to home beyond just those superficial things. The representation of anxiety struck such a chord in me. I see pieces of myself & my partner in these characters & that made this story so beautiful to read. Like all of the other Chestnut Springs stories, the romance in this book was SCRUMPTIOUS, but on top of that, it was so raw. Some quotes made me cry because they struck me so deeply. WOW I want to relive this book all over again. This was beyond fantastic .
