Let me show you how this book went for me:
🤗😍🤮😍🤮❤️🤮🤮🤮❤️
So overall about a breakeven, it looks like. There's only so many "I can't wait to **** [him/her]" I can handle, and I hit my limit about 30 pages into the book. But I liked Wells and Josephine as our love interests. Sure, they were overly dramatic about a situation that had A LOT of solutions, but they were literally stupid in love.

My first Tessa Bailey book read was a hit! Fangirl Down was fun, entertaining, hilarious and steamy. The main characters, grumpy, struggling golfer Wells and happy-go-lucky fangirl Josephine were the perfect blend of grump-sunshine who oozed attraction at its finest. I loved that Jospehine was already trying to get Wells to look on the bright side and who can’t love Wells' protectiveness of this ball of light that forced her way into his life. Also, I loved the uniqueness of this sports romance being about a golf athlete! Overall, this book made me laugh with the antics the two got themselves in, their banter and supportiveness for each other and it delivered on the happy feelings.
Not to forget, Callie Dalton was an awesome narrator and creating distinctive voices for each character were excellent. She helped me indulge in this book in one day!
Thank you LibroFM for the alc. All thoughts expressed in this review are my own.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, considering I don't enjoy golf! But I found the spice to be a little much, almost to the point of overshadowing the plot.

Cute weird premise. Loved the diabetic representation and how Wells treated Josephine as an actual person and not fragile and weak. The spice was a little bit too much to the point to where I was over it towards the end. Probably one of my favorite Tessa Bailey books and I am looking forward to reading about the grumpy hockey player 💕

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I did not think I would like this book because I am not a fan of golf, but I really enjoyed this sports romance. The characters felt fleshed out and realistic. Wells Whitaker is a professional golfer who is on a self-destructive path, and he gives up in the middle of a tournament. Josephine Doyle considers herself a superfan and supports Wells even when he is not doing well with the sport. When he gives up on himself and treats Josephine poorly, she decides to move on. Wells feels terrible that he let down the only person who believed in him, so he offers to hire Josephine to be his caddy for an upcoming tournament. Wells is an underdog in the game, but Josephine is determined to help him fall in love with the game again. As they spend time togehter during the tournament, Wells falls in love with Josephine. However, Joesphine needs to decide if she wants to focus on her family's golf pro shop or if she wants to be Wells' caddy forever.
I tried to read Tessa Bailey's other book, Fix Her Up, but I disliked it and could not finish it. I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. I had no idea that this book would be as smutty as it was, so fair warning that it gets super graphic. (There is a literal rimming scene where Josephine rims Wells.) I thought that Josephine's dilemma (be a caddy at the Masters Tournament or focus on repairing her family's pro shop) at the end of the book was too drawn out and unnecessary, but I can see how it was necessary for the plot. Fans of sports romance (no previous golf knowledge is necessary) will enjoy this book. The chemistry between Josephine and Wells was leaping off the page.
