The Long Game
by Elena Armas
Just run & grab yourself a copy, bc she’s GIVING! If you like sports romances, internet fails, men with accents, thigh tattoos, and slow burns: this is the book for you! 😍
After going viral for decapitating her dad’s soccer team mascot’s head, Adalyn gets banished to prove her worth as the franchise’s media director with a small-town team. Turns out, that team is coached by Cameron Caldani, an ex-pro footballer… and comprised of 9-year-olds. Can she lead them to success or will she prove her dad’s assumptions that she’s dead weight right?
I loved this book! It was a painfully slow process of the two main characters learning to trust each other because each had been previously put in situations where that trust and safety was compromised. Not only were these two fleshed out well and in a believable way, but each of the side characters from the soccer team to the goat (iykyk) were all given such strong personalities. Armas' care and love for her work comes across in every single chapter. The only thing that bothered me with this book is that we went about 75% of the book without Ada and Cam even kissing to the last 20% of the book almost entirely about how every single thing turns Cam on. I don't mind a bit of spice, but the plot went out the window for most of the last quarter of the book and it felt overwhelming after so much tension and build-up.
Thank you to @netgalley and @atriabooks for an advanced reader copy!
