sungmemoonstruck 's review for:

One on One by Jamie Harrow

emotional hopeful

---

I very much enjoyed that this is a different kind of sports romance, one focused on the people behind the scenes, and how it both loves and acknowledges the complexities of college sports. It's a grounded, sincere book with an appealing heroine trying to rebuild her relationship to a thing she once loved and an intriguing cast of supporting characters. Harrow's writing has a very nice flow to it and a strong narrative voice. But although I believed in Annie and Ben's attraction to each other and their transition from friendship into flirtation, I don't know if I got enough of the deepening of their relationship to feel invested in their final declarations of love.
