  • The romance itself? Very fun and cute
  • There were some storylines that were either confusing, not wrapped up well, or not wrapped up at all?
  • Why was their first kiss OFF THE PAGE?! I thought we'd get a flashback to it or something but NOPE. And I'm not just talking when they kissed back in high school, but even their first adult kiss? Absolutely not!
  • The whole conflict of the book was that their bowling team needed to win the finals at the end of the year or they wouldn't get to be around next year.
    They LOSE, and...that doesn't come up at all? They're just like "We'll do better next year" and boom happy ending????
  • I think ultimately this is a novella that would've done a lot better if it'd had an epilogue to cover a couple of things that just couldn't be addressed immediately.
