This is likely another case of ‘it’s not the book, it’s me’, but I couldn’t push through.
This was a cute neighbours, forced-proximity, grumpy x grumpy, small-town romance. 
The soccer team and the MCs involvement with the team was probably my highlight of this book. 
It quite simply was a fun ride at the beginning, but I found it started to slow in the middle. And besides both MCs being stubborn and cranky at one another, i also struggled with believing their chemistry? Their tension at the beginning is good, but I felt like it kind of turned to instalove part way. It’s hard to explain my feelings with this book.

I think if I had pushed through, this still could’ve been a 3⭐️. But I don’t want to push my way through and end up in a slump, sorry Elena Armas. 

If you have enjoyed writing by Armas in the past, i recommend this. It’s an easy romance with a good base. I think I just put it down for too long and now simply have found myself not caring too much for the MCs.
