I have a few thoughts and opinions (mostly opinions though):

• I don't like American football. I don't know when it happened but i decided that most sports romances are redundant for me. I don't understand much, skip the action stuff and couldn't care less when a career is on the line.
• Public proposals are the worst possible option. And in a romance with new adults (who just stopped being technical teenagers and are not even full adults yet)? No.
• Ok. I understand why the author chose to make this book new adult. But. With a few little changes this could've been a good adult romance. Like. It just felt like all the college characters were playing grown up.
• I wanted to read about pain. What i got instead was 50% ridiculousness and the rest was a mix of sad, weird and redundant. But there was romantic stuff too i guess. Not as much as i expected
• I'm petitioning for both of the characters to go to therapy.

Overall this book was different from what I expected but not necessarily in a bad way. This could possibly be the favorite book of someone and I could understand why. But it is not for me.

holden & julep 🥹 the forbidden aspect was done so so well. i mean, holden is the definition of "willing to risk it all" because he wore his heart on his sleeve and did NOT walk away from her even when all odds were against them. both characters were so mature, communicated remarkably well and the overall tension was superb. THEY JUST REALLY GET EACH OTHER. and the epilogue???? PERFECTION!!!! this book was everything i wanted it to be.

This was Holden Moore seeing me for absolutely everything that I was — every chaotic, fucked-up, maimed piece of me. And somehow finding it beautiful enough that he wanted to claim it.
