I can't put my finger on why but the majority of the chapters written from Andy's point of view fell flat for me. I found myself speed reading through those chapters to get to Law's chapters. I loved the dynamic between the two characters and how quick witted they were with each other.

This was just ok. Felt like the book could be gender swapped to an MF story with the most minor of edits. I got friendship but not really chemistry between the main characters. The story went on for quite a while before any romance kicked in.
This was cute but NOT LONG ENOUGH. I wanted way more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Rounding Up!
The plot of this book is not a new concept. I’ll just put that out there.
And yet...
I thought it was absolutely adorable! Maybe because I’m a sucker for all the tropes used here. Maybe because I desperately needed something light, fluffy and low angst. (My current Hazard and Somerset book has been heavy!) But I think it’s more than that.
The writing was solid. I couldn’t believe this was a debut novel. It was fun and hard to put down. The characters were likable and lovable. The steam to plot ratio was just right and there was a bit of a slow burn but not sloth or glacier slow.
I’ll be keeping an eye on this author. I hope to see more from her.

I was not expecting to adore this, but I very much did. This is my first read of this author and it was a win for me.
Andy sees himself as the sidekick. His best friend, Falcon, is an athlete, is good looking, popular, and Andy think he's in love with him, except Falcon doesn't seem to see him that way at all. So Andy has a plan to somehow transform himself into a "hero" so he can be seen in a romantic way by Falcon.
Because Andy has always been a bit of a nerd, small and skinny, and thinks he's not terribly attractive, just average, and his hair is a wild nest on his head and he thinks he needs to improve his look and himself to get Falcon.
Only at the very end of his junior year and the start of summer, Andy meets Law Anderson, former hockey star and now assistant coach, who is attractive and athletic and also asks Andy for help.
But Andy has great anxiety over speaking in front of people, so when Law asks him to help tutor 7 guys on his hockey team in physics so they can pass and stay on the team, he says no at first. But Law helps him, and also offers to help him improve to get Falcon.
Except pretty soon after "project hero" starts, these two start to fall for each other. And they were wonderful together. Law saw nothing wrong with Andy from the start, he loved who he was and Andy was more open and comfortable with Law than he was with anyone else. They didn't want it to become anything, but of course, it did. They fell for each other so easily, but thought the other wouldn't want them to fall, so they kept it to themselves for awhile.
But it all works out in the end, and the epilogue was wonderful and the perfect HEA. Seeing where these two were versus where they started out was wonderful, and it was the love they had for each other that got them there.
Definitely recommend, I adored this. Two massive thumbs up from me! <3

This is such a sweet love story between two guys! Andy is adorable in his geekyness; awkward in a lot of situations, but once in a while willing to try new things. He's funny and often has an appropriate response, even if he's not aware of it. Law is caring and supportive in everything he does. He's trying to make Andy see that he's perfect just the way he is, that he doesn't need to change. I love both characters!
I've been laughing out loud several times during reading, and otherwise had a stupid grin on my face. I didn't want it to end, but at the same time I couldn't stop reading. The only thing I might "complain" about is the very detailed sex scenes. It's justified though, so I can't really complain, and there's always the option to skim those parts if one wants to.
I received an ARC of this book and I'm so glad I did!
