REVIEW | Snapped by Alexa Martin
.
When Elliot gets a job as PR for the Denver Mustangs, the last thing she expects is to be put in charge of Quinton- the player who has decided to take the knee during the anthem. You guys- this book is SO timely with BLM and such an amazing, moving, and romantic read. It’s definitely my fav in this series.
What I loved:
🏈The way the author tackled both Quinton’s decision to kneel on behalf of the mistreatment of black players in the league was so powerful. I also loved Elliot’s character ARC and her journey when it came to her identity as a bi racial woman. It was wonderful to see how her opinion of Quinton’s actions progresses throughout.
🏈Although this book is quite emotional compared to the others in the series, the writing style remains accessible and funny. It really made for an enjoyable read.
🏈I really liked both Quinton and Elliot as characters. They were so likeable, both with backstories I wanted to root for!
Massive thank you to Berkley, Alexa Martin, and Netgalley for access to this great read! 💖

So I DNFed this book and not because it's bad. It was really hard for me to read about a Colin Kaepernick-type hero when I know how badly the NFL treated him and his protests. Like there's no happy ending there in real life. I'm not sure how the protest storyline will resolve in fiction, but I imagine it'll be better than real life.
And I just can't do it. I can't suspend reality to enjoy this storyline when I know how terrible the NFL is re: the BLM protests. So I feel badly about it, but I have to DNF.
