A decent book just not my tastes. I'm not a huge fan of the jealous ML in everyday life.

yes. just yes.

I’m in love and obsessed. I truly feel like I have a problem but it’s okay cause it’s a good problem to have. I can’t decide who I love more, Lake or Collin! I love them both so much and for different reasons obviously. Lake is the epitome of what an all around good guy is supposed to be like. He can be dirty when he wants to be, but he’s got the best heart. I absolutely love that this book raised some awareness for the autistic community. It’s not something I’ve seen done in many books before, but I truly feel like Jescie Hall did an incredible allowing us to see and understand Collin right from the beginning. I truly think everyone should take the time to read this if you haven’t already

This. Book!
This was my first sport romance and I did not expect to be into it this much. The story is beautiful. The characters are written so well and the emotional rollercoaster was real. This book’s banter and sass made me laugh, but I also had to wipe some tears of my face. Sad tears, happy tears..all of them.

Lake and Dylan are amazing, but Colin has also captured a bit of my heart. (“Just another flat. A flat. Trust the team.”

I feel like there’s so much to say about this book but somehow I can’t find any words to properly describe how I feel/how I felt reading this book. This book is completely different than anything else Jescie has released before. It was so heartwarming and soul crushing all at the same time. I know that the love I have for these characters will not be going away anytime soon. I cannot stop thinking about it. I cried SO much while reading. Sometimes it was happy cries most of the time it certainly wasn’t. I think that crying is a generous term for what I was doing. It was a lot of loud sobbing. Did I FLOOD Jescie’s DMs the whole time… Yes. Yes I did. Accompanied by photos of all of the tears that were falling down my face. I am so happy that I was able to receive an ARC of this book. If Jescie writes it…I will read it. This book receives an infinite amount of stars. Seriously. Anyone who talks crap about this book I will fight them.
