4.0

Four stars might be arguably too high - but for what it is, it’s good. The fake swearing got a little ola, and certain parts (frustratingly) break the rule of “show the reader, don’t tell.” I don’t know that I loved the book, so much as I loved the story. Picking it up right after the 2024 WNBA draft and seeing parts of my own journey reflected in the characters gave it the extra 1/2 point for me. Otherwise, a quick and easy queer rom com.
