This was pretty cute, but very forgettable.

I found the dialogue to be really cringey, but not in like a fun and cute way. Mostly just an actual cringing way.

The couple was fine. I liked the characters enough.

My favorite parts were the mentions of Marshall and Felix (because I've read Frat Wars by Saxon James and can't wait to read Robbie's brother's story!) and the mentions of Peyton (because I've read Fake Boyfriends by Eden Finley and can't wait to read Miller and Talon's kid's story!).

I also just found it hilarious that lacrosse was the big sport besides football at this school.

As someone who is VERY into sports, played multiple sports on school and travel teams all through high school, who watches many professional sports, NO ONE cares about lacrosse. No one. And I say that as someone who had friends who played lacrosse, and who grew up on Long Island which is arguably one of the places where lacrosse is biggest in the entire country. No one cares about it. Sorry not sorry.
