I surprisingly enjoyed this! I was not aware (because I like to go in blind) that this was a sports romance and I really really don’t like those. On top of that, it’s soccer - and I’m so soccered out I can’t even express it. However, this story was sweet and honestly hilarious. It was a mess but also perfect. There are some open door romance scenes toward the end and by that point I was convinced this was a “clean” romance. However once it started it didn’t really stop. If you enjoy rom-coms, I think you’ll enjoy this as well!
