I revived a copy of this book from Netgalley to read and review.
This book had a promising idea and start. However, the story became quite flat and the characters were quite inconsistent.
Sadly, it became difficult to read and overall a 2 star book.

This book was a classic romance that I flew through in no time. I loved the multiple characters that we got to know. The only thing I didn't love was that the start of the book felt a bit boring and slow. There were also some predictable moments (which I've come to expect from romance novels) that limited my enjoyment a bit.

All in all this book was a cookie cutter romance that I overall enjoyed but wouldn't find myself re-reading or thinking about again.

I really like romance and some young adult books, but this wasn`t it? the characters were boring and flat. Their chemistry was meh at best.

I found this to be an enjoyable read, keeping me on my toes throughout. The storyline was written well and flowed seamlessly. I look forward to reading more by this author!

I really enjoyed reading this book so much, I immediately fell for these characters and I truly want to reread this book again. I finished this book just recently and I’m already having withdrawals symptoms.

I originally read this book on Wattpad, and to this day it is still my favorite book of all time. Because of how many times I've read it, I know the story like the back of my hand.
If your coming to buy the book from Wattpad, just a heads up, it's majorly different. Most of my favorite scenes were removed and the writing is kind of choppy.
If your still interested in the story, I recommend going back to the app Wattpad and reading it there under the same title.

A cute romance story filled with many favorite tropes! This story not only upheld the romance, but went beyond my expectations on the depths for each character and storyline. One thing I would note is to make the pace a little quicker. 3/5 stars! <3

This was really really so cliche. It was a good time and definitley nostaligic for things I would’ve read when I was younger

I really loved this novel. It was super awesome. The characters are really sweet. It was a great romance. There were super sweet moments highly recommend.

I wanted to love this one because as a teen I was a tomboy and a soccer and softball star. But the heroine drove me nuts from the first page and I couldn't get into the story.

Such an adorable book. Never got to read it on wattpad and needed to know what the hype was about. I 100% get it.

I ultimately gave this book 2 stars. This is mainly due to how the book downloaded onto my kindle. It was in a weird format that made it hard to read. I only made it a couple of chapters in and I was not very drawn into the story. However, I do want to try and give this book a second try using a different format.

I would like to give a big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

i've read this book when it was solely on wattpad, an my younger self enjoyed it way more then, then now. honestly, the writing was not good, and half of what was being talked about literally made zero sense and was just a mess. and i really hated the whole, i'm better then other girls cause i play soccer vibes i was getting from the MC.

This book has been sitting on my shelf for a while, and just the other day I picked it up looking for a light kind of read, with a cute love story. And that wasn't what I got, which was kind of disappointing, and this book was a mixed bag for me.

I enjoyed some characters, but I wanted more from them. I didn't like the cheating that took place, and I didn't feel like the supporting characters were developed or spoken about other than to say a few word description about their appearance. They were brushed over, and that didn't sit right with me.

This book had a lot of potential I thought, but it fell short. I found the timeline jumpy and it read more like a list than a flowing storyline. There was also the mention of racism, homophobia, & bullying, but there was nothing done about it by the characters in my opinion. I felt like based on the way I saw the characters & their personalities, I expected them to do more about it.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I first read this book when it was first published on wattpad. I was happy to know that it was being published. Just like when I read it the first time, I fell in love with the story all over again. It’s such a cute and fun read. The author has you feel like you’re apart of the friend group

When I requested this book I did have hopes of loving but it but after reading the first couple of chapters I've come to the conclusion that this book is not for me. It was the writing, ultimately, that did it for me specifically the dialogue between characters. 2021 is the year of fun, not the year of forcing myself through a book and cringing every five seconds and so I'm sadly dnf-ing this novel.

Macy is the only girl on her school's soccer team. She's seen as one of the guys and hasn't dated anyone before. When she meets the transfer student Sam, they butt heads right away. She thinks he's arrogant, he thinks she needs to loosen up and have fun. They have chemistry right away, but then Sam's cousin Cedric, who Macy has been crushing on for years, starts showing an interest in her. Now Macy has to decide which guy is right for her, the good guy or the bad boy?

This story has it cute moments and I liked Macy and Sam's flirting, as well as watching them grow to trust each other. I thought this could have benefitted from more action or drama, something to break up the talking and pining. Macy and Sam both play soccer, but there are very little scenes of them actually playing games. The stakes also could have been higher, it was clear Macy would get with Sam and Cedric just kind of fell to the side. I needed drama, anger, or something to beef this plot up.

Macy's best friend Jasmine did have some deeper issues going on which helped. There was divorce and racism and I appreciated seeing Macy learn how to be a good friend and support Jasmine in her time of need. They had a cute friendship and that made me like this more.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Some character development, cute moments, a bit cliché which is to be expected. It´s predictable, which I liked, not the genre I choose expecting a lot of plot twists. It is a great summer read, feel-good without being boring.
I didn´t really like the cheating and there was a lot of jumping in time, just to the next day/next week but it felt abrupt.

4.5/5 stars

After reading so many books on Wattpad, a lot of them seem to get merged and mushed together in my mind. I had read this while it was being wrote on Wattpad and had completely forgot about it until I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and Wattpad Publishing - thanks by the way!

This book checks off all of the YA contemporary romance books:
• Misunderstood "bad boy"
• Non-feminine female lead
• Mean girl who's jealous and out to make everyone's life hell
• Love triangle
• Basic characters who don't add or take away from the story
• Drama

While I wasn't a huge fan of our leads and how they got into their relationship (I will never support or enjoy reading about cheating), it was cute romance.

I'm giving it 4.5 stars because I despise cheating on your partner and it was cute easy read. I wouldn't say anything surprised me or stuck out to me in being unique but nowadays, what is unique?

Thank you again to NetGalley and Wattpad Publishing to allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hmmm...ok, so I went into this book in a very nostalgic and biased way because it was one of the first full books I read on Wattpad before I ever gained an interest in the romance genre of books. But sadly, the changes made in order for the story to work better felt poorly done and weren't really the changes that the book needed to make it less "Wattpad" and more "actual published novel."

Sure, the book is probably targeted towards younger readers, but most of the comedic factors in this book felt way more immature and young than it needed to be. The characters felt lifeless and I felt no connection to any of them. It's sad that I'm thinking I prefer the unedited Wattpad version of the story, but I really do.

I'm giving the book a generous 2 stars for nostalgic reasons just because it brings me back to the good old days of Wattpad romance but yeah, sorry to say I was disappointed.
