“My nana used to say that broken people love the hardest because they appreciate the things that make their heart beat. Do I make your heart beat?”

This was a pretty fun romance! I really enjoyed the way this book started, and although it did start to drag a bit later on, it was a solid read overall.

⇢The Plot
As I mentioned, this book started off really strong. I love the trope where the mc doesn’t recognize the love-interest even though they’re super famous, because despite being pretty cliché it’s always entertaining, and this book succeeded where that trope was concerned.

However, as soon as that initial whoa-you-don't-know-me and oh-you-lied anger wore off, the plot was primarily pushed forward by communication issues between the two main characters, which as you may know, I’m not a fan of. I mean, if your book would be over if a single healthy conversation between the main characters was to occur but you decide to ignore that and push communication issues, you probably should have added another more enjoyable conflict instead.

That slightly annoying plotline aside, this book’s plot was well written and enjoyable. It had a great flow and definitely had me hooked from the start!

⇢Elena
So, Elena was this book’s main character. Would it be weird for me to say that despite that I feel like I barely know her? I mean, what we saw of her was nice, but I really wish that more sides of her were explored- like her job search and her other hobbies. I feel like outside of the romance, what we knew of her from her own perspective was very limited, and same with Jake really. But Romeo >> (Romeo is her pet pig sjhsksjsh)

“I even made Romeo a pillow.”
“Is that the new wide receiver for the Saints? Drafted last year?” She cocks her head. “Hardly. He’s my little potbellied pig. A teacup.”




⇢Jake
So, I liked Jake, he just wasn’t that… memorable? Like, I’m probably not going to look back on this book in the future and think “oh I liked that love-interest/character” because there wasn’t much to separate him from the other secretly sweet jock characters that exist in other books. Wow, when did I get so critical?? But yeah, he was just… eh.

⇢Elena and Jake
So even though the characters themselves weren’t anything too remarkable, their romance was significantly better. They had good chemistry and most of their interactions were really sweet. I liked how the play fit into their relationship, even if I didn’t love the rest of the ending… I mean one minute you’re FINALLY agreeing to trust someone and then you’re PROPOSING (sort of)??? Huh? (Yeah I’m sorry I’m just feeling very critical today, I swear this book wasn’t bad at all)
