A review by _queendom
Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner

3.75

I'm in love with Leo Hernandez. I love it when the mmc is pathetic in love with her woman. Leo checks all the boxes- sarcastic, emotional, utterly pathetic in love and understanding. He's a complete package who deserves all the love. I'm more in love with Leo than the book itself.

My heart breaks for 15 years old Mary who has to go through bullying which made her high school insufferable.
But the transformation from a self-conscious girl to a confident and independent woman has all my heart.

The misunderstanding trope served so well. She held onto anger and hurt thinking he rejected her and him being hurt broken because the only girl he was vulnerable with ghosted him. It was so good and intense.
Both of them wore the sarcastic shield effortlessly. Enjoyed the top tier chemistry, angst, sexual tension and everything in between. 
Braden and Kyle were such a good roommates and I love their bond and banters. 
Just felt a little stretched towards the end but overall it was a good read.
