i liked the other Maren Moore sports romance I've read better. the characters in this one fell a little flat. Hallie seemed sweet, and Lane was sweet to Hallie, but i wish we got a little more of their distinct personalities on-page.
i think when the characters get together really early on, it's harder to develop them because they're spending less time apart than characters in other romance books that aren't FWB to lovers.
i LOVED that the childhood pining was double-sided.
my interest in the sex scenes (and therefore the plot) waned at the halfway mark and i kept zoning out while reading them. this is probably just a me thing, though.
i'm always gonna rate a book that portrays healthy relationship dynamics, a boy being devoted to a girl, and a short third-act breakup with an amazingly cute reunion 3 stars. period.
the author's playlist for this book fucking rocks!!!!
