Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner

3.0

 
i definitely feel like if i read this when i was in the mood i would have enjoyed it more, but that's on me.

this book was so cute. the history they had made me absolutely fawn and shit because it was so cute. (i found it stupid how she chose to approach him though icl). i really enjoyed mary's character- her desire to be a tattoo artist was so well written and i was so rooting for her and was so proud of her. the found family was also hitting in this book and had me goofily smiling and shit too. leo was cute, i found him sexier after he started apologising. his random italian words did make me chuckle tho- and also mary never asked what any of that means??? like be fr. the character's did have some amazing chemistry, but i feel like the book didn't start at the start of the story which, i think, in hindsight, affected my ability to fully get itno it bc it's like starting a movie 25% in instead of at the start. also i definitely skim read the smut. maybe i wasn't in the mood but either way i wasn't quite invested.

as for the conflict. valid. he did go against her wishes but i don't understand why she kept saying he broke her trust again and again. luckily she came to her senses.

thenNNNN, ms kandi steiner wrote the BEST THING EVER THAT IS SO TRULY UNDERRATED AND UNDERUSED!!!! leo ran to her after a game infront of everyone to the bleachers to kiss her. 🤭😩

what really stole my heart away was gianna telling clay they're having a baby in the epilogue!!!! ( i gasped audibly and was so emotional.
