First Down by Grace Reilly

3.0

it gets a 3.75 rating from me !! - it didnt feel as amazing as Breakaway did !!! i did however love james and bex but it didnt give 4/5 star energy

- i love james and bex
- this was a cute shortish read
- its a fake dating, reformed f boy, boy obsessed, he falls first, fmc tutors mmc !!

- the sex scenes felt emotional in the best way
- this is an american football romance( ncaa college football)
- The way JAMES DEFENDS BEx aah
- james dad was UGH
- bex’s ex WAS EWW!! he literally was like “she is mine” After she broke up with him!! like he didn’t hey the hint. he literally said JAMES STOLE HER FROM HIM WHEN SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM WAY BEFORE SHE GOT WITH JAMes. That ex IS DISGUSTING!!!

— i love james aaah!!

this has kinda a 3rd act breakup ??? but definitely a 3rd act conflict- but it made sense it wasnt petty!!

Tropes
- he falls first
- fake dating
- friends to lovers
