Four stars for Play it Off! It has all best tropes of a college romance - sports, brother’s best friend, forbidden romance, and ANGST. Neither MC was perfect, and their flaws definitely played a big part in their story. But one of my favorite things was them talking about their futures, and zero judgment coming from either of them about the other’s path. They supported each other fully, and their chemistry was definitely undeniable from the beginning. 

I received Play it Off as an ALC, and the audio was great. Both of the narrators did the characters justice, and it was a smooth & easy listen. Thanks Valentine PR for the ALC! All opinions are my own.
