This was giving coming-of-age novel more than romance at points. Especially during the sex scenes, which was weird. Basically, it was an awkward more-highschool-than-college college romance. 


I was expecting a cute sports romance. Book girlie and adorable golden retriever basketball player. But it wasn’t really that. Even the FMC description of the MMC wasn't really accurate to the cover. She also kept putting everything that happens into book trope boxes, which was kind of annoying, and I am glad she was called out. The poetry thing also bugged me.

I will say there were some very cute moments. That's why it got 3 stars; I was definitely giggling. 

I would read a second book about one of her friends, especially because they wouldn't have the virgin trope.
