wow , what a rollercoaster of events šŸ«Ø

plot line: If she isn't mine in the end, I'll still be hers.
It's torture, but it's true...

For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant.

It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, my future was clear, and he was it.

Until suddenly, he wasn't.

Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants... is me.

They say first loves last forever... I hope they're wrong.


my thoughts: 
honestly, I felt as though I should have created an ā€œinvestigation boardā€ to keep on track with this books plot and characters because it was A LOT to handle.

*March book club pick for Forever Reading Romance*

if like love triangles , sport and teen/young love romance books - I think that you may really enjoy this!

as a romance reader that rarely reads these tropes,  I was really hoping that I found a book that I could re-read and recommend to others - unfortunately this wasnā€™t the case.

donā€™t get me wrong , parts of this book was enjoyable but I felt as though there were quite a few let downs such as:
ā€¢ the choice of dialogue / writing
ā€¢ the events that took place within the plot (with no trigger warnings)
ā€¢ the amount of characters and the length of the book

I think if there had been some more adjustments to the characters and plot before the release of this book I may of enjoyed it a lot more

what I will say though isā€¦ NOAH RILEY šŸ„ŗšŸ˜ he is the epitome of a book boyfriend and I know other readers will agree - so if you need a reason to read this book , let it be him.

overall , this was a long yet bittersweet book that I wish I had enjoyed a lot more.
