3.5/5 ☆
this book was cute but don’t get me wrong, i struggled to read it. noah was so immature for 75% of the book. yes, he did a few cute things here & there, but some of his actions really irritated me. i lowkey wished santiago put up more of a fight like he found out & then immediately forgave them within minutes. like bro, be mad. i do appreciate a man going to therapy, but you’re telling me he undid 30 years of trauma in two months? unlikely. however, i did like the tropes in it: brother’s teammate, enemies to lovers, SLOW BURN, close proximity, secretly dating, etc. i did enjoy how much their pov was like them writing it down. thoughts, feelings, everything was written down in such a cool way. like you’re experiencing it with them as it’s happening. idk it was a really cool touch to it. but idk noah just didn’t really do it for me like i thought he would. i will be reading the rest of the series since they’re on KU but not any time soon.
