ARC REVIEW
This entire series there have been glimpses and teases of Aaron and Poppy’s friendship and the crush Poppy has carried for Aaron for years. Their story was so much more than I could have expected. Everything was completely worth the wait when it came to these two.
I love the friendship that Poppy and Aaron have. You can just feel that these two have been best friends their whole lives, but now that feelings are involved and lines are blurred it is complicated and you can feel how much they are both struggling with the change. They have insane amounts of chemistry and everyone knows that they should be so much more than friends.
This story brings out all sorts of feelings and emotions and you are truly on the journey with Poppy and Aaron. You can feel their emotions just oozing off the pages. It’s a rollercoaster full of ups and downs but the ride is worth it.
If you’re looking for a friends to lovers, slow burn, sports romance this is one to check out.
