Thank you for giving me more gay soccer romance! I didn't particularly like Oliver at first but he grew on me. The whole book felt like it took a little bit to find its feet but ended up being a fun romantic read.

This was such a cute MM sports romance! From the start the tension between Oliver and Leo is there and you can't help but root for the two of them as they struggle with being queer in professional football. The plot was great and kept me hooked throughout the entire book.
Oliver and Leo were such great characters and the evolution of their relationship is the highlight of this book as they grow from enemies/rivals to friends to lovers with some mishaps in between. I love sports romances and this was no exception. This was such a cute and fun read!

It’s so incredibly satisfying when you have a book that you think you will love and you actually DO.
I love mm romance books, obsessed might be a more accurate word for it actually, but the point is I read a lot of them, but I never managed to find one about soccer that I actually liked( to be fair, I haven’t searched all that much, I usually stick to hockey). But a few weeks ago I was talking to a friend that loves the sport and it dawned on me that I kinda wanted a mm soccer romance, and in some witchy way booksta just sent me a post where this book, Two Left Feet, was featured. Problem is the book was going to be published only next year. Fast forward sometime and Netgalley came through so here we are.
Two Left Feet is about a soccer(or football, call it what you like) player who ends up injured and has to train his possible replacement, Leo, a player that has been playing in less important teams. I liked Oliver immediately, he is such a good character, he’s flawed but you can’t help but root for him. He’s a player that has to hide his sexuality to play the sport he loves, he lost his father when he was a kid and he’s just determined not to have a life outside of soccer until his retirement. Of course this doesn’t go to plan but I just love this type of character, that comes out of his shell bit by bit.
The beginning of their relationship is so sweet, but there was an underline of sadness that made me restless. I wanted them to have this love, they are perfect for each other, but just like Oliver kept thinking about his job I couldn't help but also think what they would have to do to keep both facets of their lives, it was a little heartbreaking. I was crying during a smut scene because I kept thinking about how their situation was impossible and it couldn't last. That's how much this book wrecked me.
It is such a tender and heartwarming book, I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you Netgalley and Dell for the ARC!
