I honestly enjoyed this book way more the second time around. This book almost felt a bit sweeter and softer than the other books in the series. I loved the foundation of friendship in Leo and Mary’s relationship. I liked seeing them become closer and how they actually talked about the past and tried to work through it. I liked how different Mary was from the other FMCs in the series and I loved the plus-size representation. Overall, this book was great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

I loved the history between Leo and Mary and the time dedicated to really explaining their backstory so you could understand Mary's feelings towards Leo in the present day. So many feelings and emotions, and all the angst. I loved the juxtaposition of the cockiness of Leo and the vulnerabilities he hides too. Mary is a badass and while a little stubborn, I love that she didn't take shit from anyone. The third act conflict was warranted and well resolved. This was previously the final book in the series, but not anymore!! Keep reading for Kyle's story in False Start!

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE IN THE WHOLE SERIES! I loved it. I felt like there was so much passion between Leo and Mary. It's just so good.

Now what I have read them all, I've ranked them going from favorite (and would read again) to eh, it was good, but I don't think I'd read again.

FMC’S NAME IS MARY. THUS HAIL MARY. As a Christian this fact is too freaking funny. Other than that Leo is a fine ace of a man for treating Mary right. Extra points for body positivity message in this story.
