This was a fun little read but doesn't have a whole lot to offer.
The romance was cute, but I don't think we saw a lot of depth in how the characters were falling for each other, and it felt a little rushed, with their chemistry being the only real thing fueling the romance. Which is fine, just a little far fetched.
So obviously Lacey is meant to be Taylor Swift, but I am a fool who spent the whole book wondering if Jimmy was based on a real life MLB player instead of realizing he's just Travis Kelce in a different sport. My bad. I think the similarities to real-world are numerous enough to be a little uncomfortable and might have appreciated more of an effort to distinguish Lacey from the person she's clearly inspired by? idk, to be fair I'm not a big fan so I'm not sure how much was taken from life and how much was fiction.
The conflict felt plausible to me! But the ending is definitely rushed.
The supporting characters were all flat and bland, which is fine I guess - this isn't a serious book.
