I absolutely DEVOURED this book! A friend recommended it to me and she is now my favorite person in the world! I can easily say this was the best book I’ve read so far this year!! Hallie and Lane have my whole entire heart. From beginning to end, watching their relationship grow from a proposal to being in love was absolutely EVERYTHING! And it was ULTRA SPICY!!! Easily a 5 star read for me!

bad book. lots of spelling & grammatical errors. don’t read this if you’re taking it seriously. i only read it because im grieving a loved one & needed a quick & stupid read to distract me from my grief. i also like baseball… but the baseball mentions in this book were not really even there so… yeah.

i liked the other Maren Moore sports romance I've read better. the characters in this one fell a little flat. Hallie seemed sweet, and Lane was sweet to Hallie, but i wish we got a little more of their distinct personalities on-page.

i think when the characters get together really early on, it's harder to develop them because they're spending less time apart than characters in other romance books that aren't FWB to lovers.

i LOVED that the childhood pining was double-sided.

my interest in the sex scenes (and therefore the plot) waned at the halfway mark and i kept zoning out while reading them. this is probably just a me thing, though.

i'm always gonna rate a book that portrays healthy relationship dynamics, a boy being devoted to a girl, and a short third-act breakup with an amazingly cute reunion 3 stars. period.

the author's playlist for this book fucking rocks!!!!

Such a strong start to a series and I just know I'm going to tear through Maren Moore's back catalogue because I just absolutely loved her prose and her character development. I read this book in a day with one single break because I didn't expect to be sucked into the most fabulous read and needed a snack. 

I love a good best friends brother moment. Hallie drunkenly making a list and then just assuming it was Eli in the shower, hysterical. Also, I cannot get over how

instead of trying to sneak around behind Eli's back Lane just was straight with him and asked how he would feel if he asked Hallie out. Top notch maturity that I just absolutely stan.

. It was clear from the beginning that these two were absolutely head over heels for each other, even if they tried to avoid their feelings. 
I LOVED that we didn't get just a "they've been pining over each other for years and ignoring their feelings but now they're ready to give it a shot" rushed romance, but we actually got to watch them develop as people and a couple. I just absolutley fucking loved every moment of this book. 12/10. 

Immediately off to read book 2 in the series.
