A review by cmcintyre
Playing Games by Max Monroe

emotional funny inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

Max Monroe is a fairly new discovery for me. This is the second book I've read by them and I've honestly enjoyed both. 

Blake is the ultimate green flag golden retriever football awesomeness. I'm telling you, there's something about a sports romance that hits different. I also love that Lexi is an intellectual. Like off the charts intellectual and neurodivergent to boot. 

This is such a heartwarming story about overcoming emotional challenges and  trusting your feelings. This would have been 5 stars for me but I really wanted to see more of the emotional side of the relationship grow outside of the physical. But I love these characters and that this is a second generation  story so I'm definitely going to go back and read the parents' stories.
