So Ty got drafted first, while Knox got third in his best season. Are you telling me that Ty is the better twin? Because I will 100% believe you because I already knew it lmao. Anyways I still love Knox, of course, but Ty stole my heart ♥
Let me just say this is possibly the only secret-crush, friends-to-lovers I truly ever loved and I just want to appreciate how good it is. The fact that Ty describes how he fell for her is so beautiful, especially because he has his brother's experience to compare.
I just have to say, it was so interesting to see how Ty was the one who wanted his own identity, to not be compared to his twin. Whereas Knox was too into these twin games and tests he always pulled. I love that contrast, and that, for me is what made Ty be closer to my heart. For Knox, the fact that the girl he chose as the one could tell him and Ty apart was one of the most important parts of the relationship. But when the moment came for Ty to realize he loved Ara, he knew it was because she was his match and not because she could tell him and his twin apart. For Knox, this was the base of his relationship, but for Ty, it was just the cherry on top.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the fact that Ty and Ara were best friends made it so much better in their case. They knew everything about each other and had so much chemistry because of it. So much that he always put her first, even before all his temporary girlfriends. Ara was always a priority for him just as much as football and that's what sold me on this trope. Kudos to Jen for making a friends-to-lovers really enjoyable!!

First Read, February 2018: Aaaw I loved this book! It was honestly much better than I expected. I was a bit doubtful I'd like this couple because I'm usually not into the long-time crush, but the way this one was played out made it so lovely and enjoyable I couldn't help but to... well, enjoy it!
I'm sure now which Masters twin is my favourite, and he goes by the name Kintyre *-*
P.S.: I'm still upset that Jack Campbell didn't get a book (or that he's not getting one any time soon that we know of), so I'm not forgetting that fact!
3.5 stars!

"Then why the fuck did you say we had to do the twin test?"
"So you'd feel good about her."
"I don't need that to feel good about her. I already love her!"
