♡ Cute Ending
♡ Queer Sports Romance
♡ Cheerleader x Quarterback (sapphic edition)

I really enjoyed this book.  I mean it’s a gay sports romance, of course I’m going to like it.  The characters were cute and the ending was absolutely adorable.  While yes, the characters decisions at some points get a little bit frustrating, I think it plays well with the YA vibe of the book.

There was a lot of talk about homophobia and dealing with people like that in a small town and not wanting to come out of the closet to the public in fear of losing friendships.  However, both main characters are out at home and one even having a bisexual mom, which was a cool addition.

Overall, it was a  quick read with a sapphic take on the cheerleader x quarterback trope.
