On Merit Alone by Adorabol Huckleby-Ordaz
4.0
emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

This book had me deep in my feels as a grandpa's girl. Merit made big, silent tears fall from my face at least 3 separate times (doesnt help i just finished my period lol). This is the second book I've read from this author and both were really good ,  but very emotional, books. So if your a mood reader looking to be a little sad, this is your author!

As a basketball kid, I loved the ball-talk and Ira was impossible not to love from the get-go. There was no real outside conflict in their relationship; all of the conflict is self-inflicted with unresolved childhood trauma or assumptions. This book played out like real life, there wasn't instant-love and it took a lot of time for Ira to earn Merit's trust and get her to open up.

I do feel like, for as long as this book was, the ending felt rushed. I was hoping for more than 4 minutes of epilogue, if we're being honest. It was still super good, and I'm just going to headcannon the rest of the HEA lol.
