lighthearted medium-paced
emotional hopeful medium-paced

I started out really liking this book. I liked the tension between the characters, liked them developing feelings for each other and I liked the forbidden aspect of their relationship.
But then it unfortunately got a bit too dramatic in my opinion - so many past and present SA or accusations thereof and the final showdown was just a bit over the top.
I still enjoyed it for the most part.

I don't love a single POV, but I tried not to let that stop me from reading this. 

I think the story really could have benefited from having Max's point of view, it could have added more tension between him and the team and the coaches. 

At one point I really hated Rory. She was coming across as a pushover who refused to fight for herself again and again.

Ultimately this was pretty predictable but I enjoyed it. I'm still divided on whether I'll continue the series or not...
Diverse cast of characters: No

I don't think I would have read this book if I had known that rape would be so central to the plots of so many different characters

DID NOT FINISH: 62%

They started willfully not understanding each other and refusing to communicate like adults, in the modern era!, which I can’t abide. Talk to your partner!
