Short synopsis: Nora goes to a basketball game on a dating app date, and her date is the worst. She ends up on the kiss cam with the charming guy on her other side.
My thoughts: Okay, first chapter had me pulled in immediately. Nora was at the basketball game for my favorite NBA team, and that never happens. This is set in my hometown (which also never happens) soo I had a lot of fun with it.
The closed door scenes were done so well in this book. You can feel the tension and romantic feelings grow from both characters throughout the book, and I loved watching them fall for each other. The banter and flirting was top notch.
I loved how hard Nora worked to make a good life for herself, because of the bad situations she faced in her childhood. And I loved watching her be vulnerable with Duke,
Duke was such a cinnamon roll Character, wanting to help make Nora’s situation better. And I adored the interaction with his grandparents
I loved the audio on this! The narrator did such a great job telling the story!

Are you kidding? This was so cute I can’t even deal. The writing was good. No made up, arbitrary bs to keep them apart. It was real life
Duke is the purest thing. His friend group is the purest thing. I want more of the guys.
These two meet at a basketball game. She’s on a date with a terrible online dating match. The kiss cam keeps panning to her and her hot ass seat mate (not the date). They proceed to have an adventure together for the rest of the night knowing that’s all they’ll ever have. ARE YOU KIDDING?
It was interesting to see her thought process because I have always been a jump first and ask questions later type and Nora is not.
Anywho, the only other thing you should know is that it’s closed door. I didn’t know that going in so I’m making sure whoever reads this knows.
