it felt nice to read a book about a man who would do anything for the woman he loves, and felt more great to know that it was a geeky and dyslexic black woman! I also liked that the book centered both on the main characters as well as the side characters – they added something to the plot, made it lighter and funnier.

even it's a fast paced book, I think I would've enjoyed it more if it was a bit slower or medium paced bc Naomi and Finn's relationship felt too rushed at times. same with other major things in this book.

This was a cute book but there were a few plot points that I don't think were fleshed out. Was an easy and fun read. Definitely liked the more accurate body representation and that they are both tall.  

My frustrations/confusions are hidden in the spoiler as are not part of the blurb of the book and was a surprise where the story went:
 

The whole corrupt Sports Director thing would of been a good thing to follow but we dont even know what is going on with that?? Just simple hints. WTH. Also Wished we would of seen a lot more of Finn before the accident so we would know what the guys keep comparing to the "old Finn"
