This book was so lovely to read and really highlights the difficulties that can be faced in relationships and breaking up before realising that you need that person in your life as they make you a better person and feel loved.
Stevie and Zanders’ love story is amazing, at the start I got the impression that he was an arsehole and that I was not going to enjoy reading about him as a person but the more the book developed, the more I realised that it’s all part of an act and that isn’t who he really is.
However, what I did not expect with this book is the spice, it wasn’t a lot but a heads up for those that potentially don’t like reading about it. Although, it isn’t a common theme in the book and it’s only written in a couple of chapters. It’s also a sports based romance so I did not think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, regardless of how slow the book started off. I also particularly love how Zanders rekindled his relationship with his Dad while also telling his Mom how he feels about her and their relationship, thus cutting her out of his life. At times, I also felt like I was experiencing the emotions the characters were feeling at particular points in the book, such as heartbreak or excitement.
What knocked the book down to a 4 star for me was how long it took me to get into it, that’s probably just a personal issue but I would say push through the first few chapters and you’ll seen find that you’re beginning to enjoy it! I now can’t wait to read the next book within the series.
