Ali Hazelwood is in her sports romances era and I LOVED every second!!! And they were at Stanford!! And doing STEM things! It was all the good things about an Ali book in the best way. But it was also so different! It was complex and there were so many moving parts and it was MESSY but Lukas and Scarlett were simple, still complicated yes, but also so simple. And so so so so STEAMY! And they’re also fun and cute and I LOVED watching them together. The way they were really able to see the other was so beautiful. I just love them so much!

Lukas and Scarlett are quite honestly everything to me. Their connection and their trust and the way they just can BE with each other was absolute perfect. I loved how complex their lives were, but when they were together everything made sense. It wasn’t easy, and there were times it was frustrating to see them not communicating, or them being too busy. But it made perfect sense, they both needed to figure things out, Scarlett had so much she working through. And Lukas. Lukas was DOWN BAD. And the way Ali writes a man who loves his girl gets me EVERY TIME.

I am feeling SO GRATEFUL I got to read this already 🥹

Thanks so much to Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
