reread this due to being the only book i had downloaded while having no service. i honestly forgot how much i enjoyed this book and love being in this world. the relationship between the hokey boys. the little bits of personality from each of them. garrett is one of my favorite characters from this series. hannah too! they are so incredibly cute. i love the conflict in this book. ngl the hands off rule and the reason behind it is so horribly cute i want to throw up. the nicknames. i don’t personally read smut but the way it goes with the plot is very interesting. their meet cute bruh this book is a just so pleasant!! i honestly feel like reread the whole series!

Personal rating: 3.5/5

I honestly am coming into this book without reading the synopsis. I read this for the sake of the hype I've seen on both booktok and bookstagram. I didn't know that I was about to be somewhat disappointed with the plot.

It was predictable from beginning to end. Perhaps the reason was because I felt like it's another wattpad story. The campus athlete and a 'different' girl met; they're young and new adults, discovering things that they have never known about themselves; what else is new.

I could rate it lower but I did enjoy this and I feel that the author intended to write this book for a certain group of people. Sadly, I'm not a part of that.
