All. The. Stars!!!!! I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! In my opinion, the hype is SO worth it and I totally understand why this book has taken over bookstagram. Nate and Stassie are the cutest couple EVER and I loved every moment reading about them. Y'all know I *hate* the miscommunication trope, so imagine my surprise when I found NO miscommunication anywhere in this book. Seriously-- these people know how to regulate and express their emotions in a healthy way! Also the smut in this book??? DIVINE. I loved the subtle LGBTQ+ representation AND the disability representation! It's not often we get to see a sidekick in a wheelchair-- ESPECIALLY in a SPORTS romance! Seriously I'm screaming from the roof tops how much I love this book. Even though the epilogue contains one of my least favorite tropes, I still adored it because it fit Nate and Stassie so well! Favorite read of 2023 so far! OH AND-- screw you, Aaron.
