I am not sure how I feel about this book. The bare bones are great. However, I feel like the enemies part of the storytelling was too long and Jude was upright mean a lot of the times. It didn't make me feel so happy about the two do them talking it out and getting together. However, I did really like their amition and drive, especially as non white women in male dominated fields. So I would've liked it better if some of that rivalry time would've been used to show us more of that, their struggles. That could've also been used as a bridge to showing us that the two of them aren't that different from another.

Another thing I would've loved a little more is their culture, taking they are both not white, but from different backgrounds. Merging the two could be interesting, or at least a bit more of Francesca's family towards the end. We saw them regularly in the first half, but suddenly not much more.

The narration of the audiobook was done beautifully!

I think if you like football and saphic romances, you could give this one a try. I don't think I will re-read it in the future though.

This is an honest review in exchange for an ALC. Thank you to Dreamscape Media, Jodie Slaughter and NetGalley for the ALC
