This book was so cringy. It was also really predicatable in a cringey way. I really hate miscommunication in books but if it’s going to happen, it should at least be done well. I saw it coming before it even happened and I also just knew the reconciliation was going to be too much. It felt too much yet underwhelming on it’s own.

I can understand if they wanted their friends to know about the whole fake dating thing and why they weren’t together anymore. I also understood when Giana told shawn about it since he was caught up in the middle of all the mess. What I couldn’t understand is why the whole campus and sports media needed to know their business???! 

I mean if Clay had been trying to apologise to her and thought that doing it during the press conference would be the perfect time, i would have understood it since he didn’t have anyone to talk him out of it. But how is it that he sat down with his friends and they came up with that as a way to apologise? Just no! It was literally so hard for me to get through that chapter because the secondhand embarrassment was too real. 

That aside, I liked Giana and Clay together and individually. They were really good for each other but their relationship just wasn’t enough to get me to actually like this book as a whole. It was a cute romance book and I could see how others would have enjoyed it. It just wasn’t for me.
