One on One by Jamie Harrow
3.0
3.25 ⭐️ Is it a sports romance if none of them actually play the sport?
Thank you Net Galley for the eARC!*
Both MCs are working for a College Basketball team. Annie is the Social Media Manager and Ben is an Assistant Coach (ex-player for the team). This book was good, but not great in my opinion.
There's a lot of back and forth between their shared past, and it makes things feel kind of like a second-chance romance, but not really, since they were never involved romantically. The build-up in the romance felt off like it was both too slow and too fast at the same time. For the majority of the first quarter of the book, we see them both struggle with each other -with him basically hating her on sight which is odd even after we know his "reasoning".
The second half of the book sort of saved it for me, but I can't say I'd go out of my way to recommend or reread this book. The writing didn't really pull me in, and it was hard at times to read about the FMC's struggles with being SA by their ex-coach (also major TW there, it's a big part of the plot).
