A bit too focused on Micah (the star of the first two books in the series) rather than Emma to be totally satisfying as a f/f romance.

I liked reading about Emma and her struggles of finding love, dealing with friends who are in love and meeting ex-es.
I liked reading about the previous characters and knowing how their story goes on.
I wish we could have gotten a bit more of the sport.
All in all, a good read and I loved getting more of all the characters. :)

3.5 stars. Snarky f/f NA about a lesbian field hockey player - this is the 3rd in the Get Out series, which is a spinoff of the Tigers and Devils series. And the first ff. It’s mostly stand alone, although there are references to events from past books. Like the rest of the Get Out series, this is NA/YA, not romance. There is a love story, but the core of the story is about Emma's growth.
I enjoyed this. There were parts that made me laugh out loud. Emma and her friends read like authentic late adolescents, which was both fun and exhausting to read about. There is so much drama - friendship drama, relationship drama, drama with exs and ex's exs. And feelings. So many feelings.

Entertaining story, easy to read, fast paced writing style.
This is a character based story, so not my favourite type. And it is mostly about Emma helping her friends (Micah and Kyle, subjects of other books in the series) as well as pursuing her own new relationship.
This is NA?YA? (Never really sure of the distinction) but they are all 20 so any relationship drama is DRAMA, they are all in each others business. There are ex’s, friends, new opportunities- but for a sport based story, there wasn’t a lot of on page sport.
Whilst part of a series and able to read standalone, it is probably better to read all.

A fun, quick read. Laugh out loud funny as always. Great to see the ladies finally get some love.

What a disappointment. Although supposedly this is a book about Emma, she spends nearly as much time running around worrying about Micah’s romance as she does in her own. She’s doing emotional labor for the boys who never return the favor.
Although she jokes about the standard, overworn lesbian romance tropes (lesbian society is so small it’s incestuous, lesbians jump into relationships after a single date, etc) we don’t see anything other than that. The main obstruction to her romance is an ex everyone knows and she starts calling her date, her ‘girlfriend’ in about a nanosecond.
The girlfriend is barely fleshed out. We don’t learn enough about her to see her as a whole person, or even a quirky or interesting character. And I can’t picture her physically.
There’s one scene where the heroine feels lucky because she doesn’t have to worry as much as gay men do in locker rooms, because it must be harder to be surrounded by dicks than naked women (!). It summed up the book for me. The author, a gay man, can’t write women as full characters who have lives that don’t circle around men. He can’t see beyond stereotypes or put himself in a woman’s head.
That’s too bad. I don’t blame his gender - many woman authors write great male stories. Too bad the reverse couldn’t be true here.
