I actually liked this book a lot more than I thought 😍 the sports romance plus the characters actually being brain smart with personalities was great. Lukas is beyond dreamy and Vandy is so great keeping her *interests* without feeling like a weirdo. Only thing I hated was how many times Pen came up during their relationship development.

So it’s a slow build. Very slow. I took 2 months getting through the first 15 chapters or so lol but when it kicked in, it kicked in strong. And the way they ended it was perfect. This is definitely all the feels! I mean all kind of feels chile. I wish it had a series lol I’d read about Lukas forever! I just wish i had someone to talk about the book with.
