Henry’s parents especially his dad and also coach were so stressful 
His teammates were so not cool ; a bunch of spoilt brats

Who makes fun of the fact that someone is on a scholarship 
So dumb! 
And how’s surviving cancer a thing to be hidden 
That plot makes zero sense 

Lark was sweet and tolerant and I love they way he cares 
I’m glad Henry eventually stood up for himself and went all out for what they had

Honestly, the book felt immature and rushed. It was a cute premise but so much felt glossed over or shoved in to be convenient.  

On a more personal note - I wasn't expecting the consistent fairly graphic sex scenes which is not my jam so that definitely didn't help my overall rating.
