The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan

4.25

---

There’s something quietly compelling about this story that hooked me early on. The characters aren’t loud or flashy—they’re real, flawed, and their chemistry unfolds in moments that feel lived-in rather than scripted. Watching their relationship grow felt like watching a spark catch flame, slow but steady.

I loved how the story allowed the connection to build naturally instead of rushing into big dramatic moments. When the characters finally crossed that line, it felt earned and deeply satisfying, not forced or overplayed.

While there were parts that didn’t fully resonate with me, those moments were brief and didn’t overshadow the heart of the story. What stayed with me was the genuine emotion and how well the characters’ growth was handled throughout.

This story gave me a quiet kind of joy—the kind that lingers after the last page. I’m eager to see more from these characters or the world they inhabit.
