“The more I pretended like she was mine to tease like that, the more it felt like she really was.”
This was a wholesome and humorous read on a whim. An endearing sports romance with fun and quick-witted characters that had all the tropes of a college fake-dating romance. It delivered what it was supposed to give making me entertained throughout the book.
It is all about their character dynamic and how genuine and in tune they were with their emotions with each other. An actual friendship and trust were built in their relationship in the beginning, which helped them see and appreciate their partner more despite it being a fake relationship.
“Another tip you picked up from my books?”
“Those things are like a treasure map. Just follow the tabs and highlights to find the pot of gold.”
Clay being the guy who reads the books that Gianna reads to understand her more and know what she likes and dislikes made him more charming. He learned so much by reading those books and he read them because he genuinely wanted to please her. That is everything to me!
The conflict and the ending were not it for me. The conflict was something so unexpected yet foolish since there are different ways it could be solved but how everything happened made it unjustifiable. Then the ending suddenly happened and I was confused about how rushed it was. The conflict was just resolved then they were happy and then it was the end. You can truly see how the author wanted to wrap things up quickly. Overall, I'm here for their relationship and not the questionable writing situations in some scenes.
