oh this is a new favorite. i knew from the first few pages this was a book i’d absolutely fall head over heels for. the buzz was so real from the beginning. the trope had me squealing with all the cuteness at first when they were younger to the tension and angst later on.

mary radiated such a beautiful, radiant girl who went through so much bullsh*t in school dealing with bullies and her family not being supportive of her career path and who she truly was blossoming in to. she is such an artsy, creative and edgy badass!!! i loved her coming in to her own and loving the skin (tattooed and not) she had. she deserves all the love and adoration.

leo? holy. sh*t. new book bf alert !!!!! the hidden gem he was. mary being his true love from the beginning and him never getting over her????? yeah i was sold. my heart aches he couldn’t feel confident being his true self because he felt he wouldn’t be valued in football if he wasn’t the playboy people thought he was. his relationship with his mom was so wholesome. his love for mary ran years deep. he loved her without even knowing who she was or what she looked like and the way she moved across the street 7 years later sounds like soulmatism to me!

their love was like them reaching in to each others souls and not letting go. i love love love them.

the boys in the pit crumbs were precious and am i actually liking kyle at the end of the series? who would have thought.

i wish there was more!!! i’d read a braden or blake book especially to see this found family again!

the epilogue had me emotional. julepholden’s wedding

When Mary is 15 she gets and Xbox for her birthday, while online gaming she connects with the high school football star Leo. Over the summer they play online and grow a deep real friendship. When Mary finally finds the courage to tell Leo who she is face to face things come crashing down and Mary is left heartbroken.
Years later at college mary finds herself living across the street from the football star who broke her heart.
Maybe this time she will see the real Leo and trust herself.

Love this book! Leo is such a genuine good soul and a good man. He loves Mary so deeply and their connection is unmatched! Only read two books from this series but I loved both.

I usually don’t go for 2nd chance or miscommunication tropes BUT I really enjoyed this. I devoured my way through this book while laughing and crying.

This is the perfect second chance book. Leo is absolute perfect. Mary damaged in her own ways, but overcomes the hurdle just to believe in love again.

I liked the writing style and how the book is set up, but the FMC annoyed me.
