Fade to black

This was such a good sports (adjacent) romance. It was fun not to read pages of game description. 

I really felt for the characters, they felt like we had grown up together, as an elder millennial they felt like they had similar experiences to me. Touched on a lot of modern topics, but still felt like it wasn't 100% set in this decade (perhaps the book is meant to feel like its set in the 2000's?). 

The whole thing felt comfortable. I really enjoyed it and found myself finishing the best part of it in a day. 
 
TW: non-consensual outing 
 
Kris Ripper has such a good story telling style. 

The narrator Pete Cross is really good. He really brought the characters to life.
