3 stars. This was just an OK read. I was never tempted to put it down, but I wasn’t all that impressed by it either.
Like the last book, there was an overall “immaturity” that felt like NA instead of being about seasoned athletes. Yes, Jacob was 19 ~ but 80% of the time he was the most mature of the bunch. Bas’s issues didn’t really seem to have much of a foundation and maybe if he’d come around after the chat with his mom it would have been better, but he pulled his emotional walls on Jacob *again* and it felt tedious.
Also, like the last book, the sports competition/action was minimal and superficial. Making it weak on the Sport-Romance scale.
Glad we got a several-months-later epilogue so it felt more like HEA than HFN. Honestly the finals at the Olympics and the epilogue rescued this from being 2.5.
Read it on KU, it was OK, but not a book I’d buy to read again.
