Fangirl Down was my first Tessa Bailey book, and it did not disappoint! I enjoyed the overall plot of the story and the characters, and the narration for the audio was done very well. It was a pretty light and fluffy story, which I feel most rom-coms are anyway, with no major conflicts.

The only real thing I had a little issue with was how Wells seemed to be this closed off, angry guy at the beginning, and it felt like he started changing a little too quickly to be believable. I kind of wish he had fought himself a little harder against Josephine's pull to create a little more of a sexual tension. I personally love slow burn, so maybe that part of me is in the forefront today. Not to say I thought Wells' character development wasn't believable, because I do think it was, but when it came to the suddenly letting someone into his life so easily that came as the harder to believe.

If you're looking for a fun, sports rom-com, I would definitely recommend this one. It was pretty funny and entertaining.
