I loved both characters and I loved their dynamic together (both in and out of the bedroom). I thought the ending was great and a really good set up for the second book.
I truly have nothing bad to say about this book, it was so good.

this series is really hit or miss. this, being the first book, felt like the author getting her footing in this genre.
Kip was a fun character to read. he was believably complex, motivated, and excitable. Scott was also complex, but his character arc happened too quickly. again, i am always disappointed when LGBT+ stories center around coming out. i understand it is a big deal for star athletes, but i wish there was some other big conflict to write the story around.
not much to say for this one besides HOLY SHIT THE ILYA CAMEOS WERE SO FUNNY!!! i was literally giggling, kicking my feet, twirling my hair at all the foreshadowing about Ilya’s eventual queer awakening/story. otherwise, a very fluffy story with a very happy ending.

But it was a quick read, had (mostly) loveable characters, a surprising little amount of actual homophobia, and I also loved that Scott wasn't outed by anybody but was able to come out when he was ready.
