As always Chelsea did a BEAUTIFUL JOB! I love this book so much. I’ve loved every book she’d written but somehow she just keeps getting better 🥹 I LOVE this little universe she’s created. I am obsessed with Dallas, Maverick, and Reid and how close they are, how much they love each other! How much they love June 😭 they are the three best friends and I love them so much. 

But the real star of the show is EMMY! I love that sweet girl with my WHOLE HEART. I don’t watch a lot of sports, but there is something about sports in general that makes me so emotional. And in parts of this Chelsea was able to capture that feeling for me. Anytime Mav stuck up for Emmy, anytime she would talk about how unfair things are, how hard she’s had to work because she’s a woman, when the whole crowd was wearing her jersey, when Mav wore HER jersey, when the whole team was on her side from the start because they always saw her as an equal. Watching her finally find her place after running her whole life, after forever feeling like she wasn’t good enough…finally finding people who called her theirs…it broke my heart and but it right back together!

And MAVERICK!! I loved meeting him in Behind the Camera and instantly knew he would be my favorite. First and foremost his love for June 😭 that little girl is the stealer of all the hearts and she is my actual favorite. Maverick’s heart is so big and he loves so hard, he cares for his people so hard, and watching him so seamlessly bring Emmy right into the fold was amazing. I loved watching him get his world rocked by her!!

It’s going to be hard to love on from Emmy and Maverick 🥹🥹 but I also KNOW Chelsea will do it all over with the next book!!

Thank you SO MUCH to Chelsea Curto herself for the ARC in exchange for an honest review and for letting me be on her street team, I am so so grateful!
