3.0

I continue to be conflicted by the premise of this series. I like how the female lead's obsession is being used for good, that she's using all of her knowledge to help the basketball team become even better, and even that she's realizing that each person needs their own personal fitness plan. It's great character growth that's separate from any sort of romance plot, which I always appreciate in a high school romance story. I find the romance itself to be a bit dull, and while I love stories where the guy falls first, I don't like pushy leads whether they be female or male. I'd rather the person with the (as of yet) one-sided crush to marinate in the background and keep their feelings under wraps. But that's just my personal preference.
