This was not so good for me. This was going to be a ranty one, apologies in advance.
There were continuity errors, and just an overall lack of detail. I have no idea what either guy looks like, or how old they are. Beau seems to have no problems buying alcohol, but at the end, we learn he was a college sophomore,so 19-20. I have no idea how long Lance played pro ball. I don't really know what he quit, it was implied that something happened, that his teammates were never really his friends, that they turned on him, but why? We're never told anything. And, considering he's out of football and not going back, I didn't really get his fear of coming out as bi, or why he let his ex wife use it to take half his money.
The romance itself was sweet enough, but the last quarter just pissed me off. Beau fucks up, he fucks up bad. Lance maybe isn't as patient as he could have been, but I don't blame him at all. Beau really fucked up. Then he tops that fuckup with an even worse one, and I don't even really remember him apologizing for the first fuckup.
I don't know, this whole thing just wasn't for me.
