This book was generally just not my cup of tea as I like romance to be more of a side plot then the main thing. Though I could see other people enjoying it! I liked its take on mental health and anxiety.

Though my biggest problem with it is that it ended on them not saying who got first in the draft, yk, THE ONE THING THATS BEEN BUILT UP THIS ENTIRE TIME. Idk that might just be me!

Just not my cup of tea but more romance centered readers will like. :)

jonaereadae's review against another edition

5.0

This was delightfully sweet and touching, yet also raw and unflinching. The mental health struggles of our protagonists are clear as day in many of its forms, and it is refreshing and even sobering (as someone who has gone through similar) to see it protrayed in such a way that made me often go "me too". Further, the romance (if you could call it that; it's up for interpretation imo) is endearing but not over-the-top; it feels more realistic than fairy tale, especially given the athletic circumstances, and the friendships slowly formed made my heart swell. This is such a wonderful novel, hats off to Graziadei - I cannot wait to read more!
