3.0

This is an awfully short book to include a third act breakup. Felt like all the plot points of a full length (300+ page) romance novel were just compressed into this length, dropping most of the subtlety, exposition, and characterization. The first few chapters before the one MC realizes the other MC is neurodivergent (not rude) were kind of painful to read, because it was clear to me what was going on.

Yes, it's a sapphic sports romance, with some spicy scenes and a happily ever after, set primarily at something closely resembling the Paris Olympics.

I'm not likely to read any more from this series, I guess I like more depth and detail in my romances.
