Don’t let my review steer you away from reading this book if it’s been on your list, I don’t think it’s a bad book it’s just really not for me. I found the characters hard to relate to because of their age and because I’m just not a sporty person. It was an easy read, a good palette cleanser between books with more substance and helped reset my reading pace, but it’s not the type of romance I generally like to read. I thought that it was almost a little too fluffy - the lives of the characters and the conflict just a bit too easy. I’m also really not a fan of contemporary romance that ends with an epilogue in which the female protagonist is pregnant. I think it happens way too often and I think it perpetuates that for a relationship to he happy and successful it must end with marriage and children. However I do appreciate that the female lead doesn’t give up on her dreams and goals to become a mom. Overall not a bad contemporary romance, just not for me.
