Have you ever been excited to read some a popular book, but it turns out you didn't like it? And you are feeling so weird, WHY is this NOT A CUP OF MY TEA?! I wish I could change my mind, but, sadly, Fangirl Down is really going down. 

Believed in him. Even when he didn't. Josephine, a die-hard fan, championed grumpy golfer Wells Whitaker through thick and thin. But when Wells throws in the towel, Josephine questions her unwavering faith. Then, in a shocking turn, Wells appears on her doorstep with a proposition as wild as his game: become his caddy, be his cheerleader, and share the spoils of victory. Can Josephine turn him around, or will their off-the-course chemistry explode their carefully constructed plan?  

How do I start reviewing this one? Oh, God. I am confusing. 

So, I am curious about the sports romance that people love to mention, full of spices? Cute? Romantic? And, etc. Well, I putly high expectations,t especially from the popular author. But, reality really hits me hard. I didn't like it.

The plot just meh. Not kind of thing loves to follow until the end. I don't have a problem with the light conflict, but the conflict inside isn't something special and they have to fight in the end because a thing that can finished at that time if they were communicate? It's easy, baby. Then, god, I don't enjoy the rated part. Just... how Tessa wrote it, not my typical story that is comfortable to read. It's just not my type. The story where the men have more strength, while the women are weak? Moreover, the female character seems pitied because of her illness, personally, I don't like it.

I believe every character is not perfect, but these couples really... I don't know what to says, the chemistry is unlikely. Maybe it's because of the insta love concept? BUUUUT, nothing wrong about Josephine, I kinda love her! just... Wells.. he's not my type.

But, I will try to give the author chance again. Let's see!
