informative slow-paced

Not what I expected at all. A few important points about the early days of women’s football, but most of the book was a mess, jumping around, quoting various players who all had pretty much the same thing to say. 
fast-paced

Even worse than the first one lol

I loved the parts of this book that were from Bianca’s point of view but I felt like the parts from Obadiah’s point of view were a lot weaker. My expectations of this book were totally off which also contributed to my disappointment. This is not really a romance! There should also be a massive CW for eating disorder. I appreciated the Trinidad setting and themes on privilege, crime, and finding your voice.
