I don't normally write reviews but I felt it was necessary.
This book should have huge trigger warnings for rape/sa and domestic violence.
I skimmed multiple parts of this book, because it was just too descritptive and hard to read. I also don't understand why this book was marketed as a sports romance.

⤷‧₊˚4.5⭑
“you can be on my team.”
“oh, i lob a smile up at him, much too close to flirting.” “And what position will i play on your team?”
His smile melts a little around the edges, and his eyes lose some of their humor. “At the five spot,” he says softly. The five spot? His position is the point guard, or the one spot. shooting guard is the two. the three is is small forward, and the four is power forward. the five is… “center,” he says.
“if you were mine, iris, there would be no doubt what position you’d hold in my life. you’d be the center. i’d play you at the five.”
kennedy ryan always writes amazing, heart wrenching storys. but this here is my number #1.
this was amazing and even if i always would recommend this book !please! check the trigger warnings this is not a cute rom com. it has a lot of heavy themes. that being said the characters are work of art no kidding they are amazing. iris is one of the most beautiful and strongest fiction character, her story is heartbreaking. i cries so much but this means a lot to me.
truly a masterpiece.
some more quotes because why not:
“i should have done this the night me met,” i whisper into her mouth, my head spinning from breathing her air. “it should have been me, iris.” her eyes squeeze shut and a tear slides over her cheek. “i know” she bites her lip and nods. “it should have been you.”
“People have no idea what some women go through behind closed doors or what keeps them there.”
“you are pure. you are enough. you are strong.”
“Strength. dignity. courage. all these things belong to you. take them back. your soul is yours. your heart is yours. your body is yours. yours to keep and yours to share.”
