For such an innocent cover, this book is FILTHY. This was a combination of BookTok made me do it and audiobooks becoming available on Spotify. I enjoyed listening to Anastasia grow as a person throughout this book especially when she finally stands up to Aaron .
Most of the stars come off from my frustration with Anastasia constantly defending Aaron when he rarely showed her an ounce of kindness. While some people might enjoy Nathan’s overprotective energy, I felt like it was an unnecessary 180 on his personality. I also had to knock of stars for the pregnancy trope… not a fan of it and it could have easily been replaced with a wedding at the end or each of the achieving their longtime sports goals.
I would still recommend this book if you want a lighthearted romance with a little more grit to it.
