4.5 stars



♡ Well damn! This was so freaking close to a 5 star read for me that I'm actually really shook right now. I love Sara Ney's writing and I loved this book!

♡ I love that Teddy and Kip started off as (begrudgingly) friends and then with time, more. I love that Kip saw her at the party and even though he's surly and wants nothing to do with women or anyone, he couldn't help but want to help her.

♡This book definitely has the "grouchy/asshole hero with the sweet(albeit a bit naive) heroine" and honestly I was here for it.

♡What I wasn't here for was the girl hate and the way that Kip judged girls for wanting to go to parties just to have sex with the players. Yes, it's obvious these girls may be doing this just in the hopes of snagging a player but there's really no need for slut shaming and I hate that Sara Ney's (and a lot of NA sports romances if we're being honest) feel the need to shame girls for sleeping around.

♡Also, why do so many of her books have the "my friend sleeps around and is a horrible friend" trope? I will admit that we do get some good girl-friend scenes but with her new friends and I'm not saying there aren't bad friends out there because there definitely is but it's just something I've noticed with this author's books.

♡I wish there was more because I thought Kip and Teddy were so cute together and this book definitely felt a bit short but nonetheless I really enjoyed it!
