it was meh
kinda bland and with no substance tbh, no angst no tension at all. The writing just didn’t make me feel anything.

i didn’t understand why they were like “no we can’t be together” bc the only excuse was that her dad was his coach…okay and?? 

i just didn’t care

Loved this so much!!

This is the second book in Micalea’s The Boys series and I just can’t stop reading these books.  This one is a bit of a slow burn but the want is there, and the tension is the best.  

Cole got his heart bruised in the last book, and because of that he plans to keep his head down, study for his last year and focus on basketball.  What he didn’t plan for is his roommate flaking out on him leaving him to worry how he’s going to make his rent.  But then in walks Zoey, to say she is beautiful is an understatement, and now he has to decide what is actually important in his life.  

Zoey has had a lot of disappointment and change in her life.  Now she’s starting over at a new school, with a new roommate who seems too good to be true.  

Read this book! Read this series! Micalea creates worlds that I would like to be a part of.  The characters in this series are almost impossible not to love.  I’m so excited for the next book, because I cannot wait to see what she has in store for my absolute favorite character in this series so far.

the best i can describe this book is lukewarm. not much happened and certainly not enough for me to care for the characters or to root for them to get together. coach’s daughter trop completely under-utilised. also way too much page-time for the comedic relief secondary character thats very obviously the next book’s main

i loved this story a lot. the side character in this, teddy, was absolute gold and hilarious. he had me giggling with his antics and his actions. i liked how zoey and cole were friends and roommates and worked through their problems before letting their connection and chemistry get the best of them. this was a really cute and heartwarming story
