When I was a senior in high school we had to read Friday Night Lights and keep a reading log on it. And every single entry was me talking about how much I hated it because, ugh, Football. Turns out the only thing I needed to enjoy a book about football was a sapphic reluctant allies to lovers romance.

I absolutely loved Home Field Advantage. It managed to remain fun and upbeat (much like Amber) even while it’s central plot revolved around misogyny and homophobia.

If you enjoyed Cool for the Summer and are a fan of Sports YA, then you should check this out. And hey, even if you don’t think you like Sports YA, you never know. I sure didn’t!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC!
