Smut on an audiobook always makes me feel a little squirmy and fearful it will start playing somewhere inappropriate lololol. But I always enjoy an Ali Hazelwood book and this was no different.

Thank you PRH audio for the gifted audiobook

DNF! That’s a no for me, this has more to do with the characters feeling so bland and half way through me being not sure what the actual plot is here than anything else. I love Ali’s other books but this one- I think I am not the intended audience!

A solid read, if you enjoy romantic comedies. For those put off by the kink aspect, I can safely say this is the most vanilla BDSM book I've ever read.
Otherwise, I think the story focuses way too heavily on the athletic theme, I just don't care that much about professional athletes and diving is unfamiliar ground for me. I liked the feeling of nostalgia it brought me about my college years when you still have all of the options in the world and I think this was what I liked the most about the book.
