Play It Off by Monica Murphy
3.5

*Audiobook Review*

If you're like me and can't get enough of a brother's best friend secret romance, then you'll probably enjoy this book! It definitely hit a lot of my favorite tropes such as boy obsessed, sports romance, and  found family.

The author's writing style really pulled me in, and I found myself connecting with the characters. I especially enjoyed learning about Gavin's backstory with his family. Plus, the dual POV was a nice touch, and I loved getting to see things from both Sienna and Gavin's perspectives. The side characters were a fun addition to the story too!

While I enjoyed the book overall, I was hoping for a little more chemistry between Sienna and Gavin. The chemistry just didn't quite hit as much as I wanted it to. I also found myself wishing for some swoon worthy moments. I also would have loved to see them be an actual couple a bit more.

Avery Caris and Victor Quixabas narrated this audiobook in dual narration and were new voices for me, and I thought they did a solid job bringing Sienna and Gavin to life. They definitely helped me get into the story and connect with each one. 

I'll definitely continue with this series and  I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next! If you're a fan of the tropes I mentioned, it's worth checking out!

Thank you to NetGalley and Valentine PR for an ALC of this audiobook. I voluntarily listened and gave an honest review.
