I can’t read book series like a normal person so I started from the fifth book because the tropes seemed the most interesting for me. I’m a sucker for a jock x nerd romances, and after reading [b: The Weight Of It All|31997446|The Weight of It All|N.R. Walker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1473746360l/31997446._SX50_.jpg|52644455] and[b: Galaxies and Oceans|40627465|Galaxies and Oceans|N.R. Walker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529888837l/40627465._SY75_.jpg|62792580] by N.R. Walker, which I both adore, I decided to start with this one. Sadly, I end up being disappointed by this book.
The beginning was really promising and I even thought I would give it 3-4 stars, but then the book just went downhill. It was boring, nothing interesting happened here, all they did was make out in the room, go to the dining hall to talk and sometimes Vincent went to Coby's game.
If the romance was at least more slow-burnish, the book would probably be more enjoyable, but they were lusting after each other from the beginning and their relationship started too fast. I don’t know why they even fall in love in each other honestly. For maybe two days, Cobey was supposed to teach Vinn how to be more social and help him to be more confident in relationships stuff, but after that he decided that he wants to be the one doing kissing and that’s probably it. It meaning they were basically together, in around thirty percent of the book.
Don't make me start with their maturity, they couldn't even communicate properly, and if it wasn't for Nate, their relationship probably wouldn't exist. Nate was like a good fairy for Cobey, he always helped him figure out the situation he is in when it comes to his relationship with Vincent.
Vincent’s character, even though I thought I will like him, made me mad sometimes. I know his situation with his father, or rather lack of her, and his past how he basically has to grow up alone, but his assumptions that everyone is bad and when he couldn’t believe why Cobey wants to be with him, made me sad and at the same time I wanted to go inside the book and shake him from my frustration.
Vincent was too perfect to be true, he was extremely handsome, rich, was the best football player, everyone liked him and his parents were perfect. He had problem with grades, but he was focused on football, so that was the reason why. The drama at the end where some people called him stupid was forced for me, simply to give him some bad trait.
The book has some cute moments, my favorite one were when Vincent was wearing Cobey’s hoodie with his number, or that Cobey was gentle and understanding with Vincent’s situation, which should be the bare minimum but whatever.
My rating might be partly so low, because I don’t like college romance as much as I liked in the past. I will probably give a try and read the rest of the series, or at least some of them.

“Your love is a gift I will never take for granted. Ever. And the feelings I have for you, that you make me feel, mean a lot to me. To have that in my life. To experience that. It’s because of you.”

Como me gusta la escritura de N.R. Walker, creo que esta es mi historia favorita o al menos la más entretenida de toda la saga de Franklin U.
PD: me enganché tanto con la historia que sólo dormí tres horas y después me quería morir en el trabajo, pero valió la pena porque el libro fue muy adictivo.

I have 1 more FU story to read, but probably this is my undeniably favorite one, with a funny, filled with feels and truly the sweetest jock/nerd romance!
What's not to love about Cobey, who was so open, honest and a good natured giant jock. And what's not to love about poor, introverted Vincent, that just needed someone to show him kindness, love and a hug!
They couldn't have been more perfect for each other and this story was a balm for me, that is so not having a good month to the hell of a company I'm working in.

This one might be one of my favorites, it was so damn sweet and fluffy and I loved the MCs. The story was simple but so cute, perfect book for ending reading blocks or to detox from heavier reads
I love a good Jock/Nerd romance. This one was cute, nothing new or crazy, but adorable nonetheless. 🥰
