Okkkkk… whyyy didn't anyone tell me that ROWING romance existed??? THIS is my thing! Y’all can have the cowboys, gimme a Brit in a boat anyday. Especially if they’re Oz! Yep. New book boyfriend alert. He’s a keeper y’all. (And I sure did switch my iPhone voice text reader over to “Oliver” to read it to me. 🥰

So we’ve got Kate, who’s come from the US to Cambridge to go to med school and row and Arthur “Oz” who is “reading the classics” (aka studying English for us Americans) but his father expects him to go into politics. He’s also captain of the Oxford rowing team. They meet when she literally bumps into him in the most adorable meet cute, then find out later they’re on opposing teams and aren’t supposed to fraternize with each other. Chaos ensues. 

The insta-love works here. It’s what happens in college. Lots of texting, 500 questions, sneaking around, keeping each others clothes to smell like the other person. Adorable. 

There is a glossary of rowing terms in the front to help. I happen to LOVE rowing/crew and look forward to it during the Olympics every year. It’s not really a big sport down here like it is on the East coast but we do have a few teams that row out by City Park (if you’ve ever been here) 

This is going to be a new series so I will def be reading this one. Lulu, you’ve got a reader for life here. 🩵
