Thank you to Brittany Kelley and Ally White for sending me an arc copy to read and review! 

This was so adorable! I loved both the main characters and how well they complimented each other - I could really feel their chemistry. Everything the mmc did for the fmc made me smile like an idiot and I adored how much of a golden retriever he was. I also loved that this book didn’t shy away from heavier topics (tw for eating disorders) while also remaining such a cute read. 

I will, however, say that this was a bit too insta-lovey for me. I can deal with insta lust but I’m not a huge fan of insta-love. I appreciated that it took the fmc a lot longer to admit her feelings than the mmc did as I felt as though his feelings were a bit too rushed and not explained enough. 

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book! 

tropes:
- sports romance (football + cheerleading)
- golden retriever hero
- fake dating
- accidental vegas marriage
