4/5⭐️ 2/5🌶️
This was such a good book to finish the series off! It was such a bitter sweet feeling coming to the end of the Red Zone Rivals as there were background character that I really wished had their own story too.
How do you act when the boy who broke your heart at 15 years old doesn’t know who you really are and is now your roommate? Honestly I’m not sure, but Mary sure does when she has to act like she’d only recently met Leo and pretend he didn’t crush her. Mary and Leo first met when they were playing video games one summer break. They both developed feelings but when Mary finally built up the courage to tell him exactly who she is, he rejected her. In front of everyone. Now she hates him, and he’s doing everything he can to get her to like him despite not remembering her. What happens when past feelings begin to resurface and secrets can’t always been hidden?
I’ve been ready for Leo’s story since the first book. He’s the cocky, charming football player that we all know we’ll love and boy did he not disappoint! The way this boy grovelled for even an ounce of her attention, even before knowing who she was, was just too good! I also loved Mary equally! She was strong and edgy yet such a girls girl. I really felt her emotions throughout this book, and was so happy when she gave her heart a second chance!
Overall, I’m sad. I’m sad this series has ended. It was an easy, feel good read and it makes me excited to dive into more of Kandi’s books! Petition to receive Braden and Kyle! Also thought this book would make me like Kyle?
