-another great book in this series. I find that the author writes these books making the characters seem older than they are, which is perfect because I don’t like when the characters seem ‘young’.
-I am really loving this series and can’t wait to start the next book!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did a good job. Low angst listen

Seeing this band of Friends again is so awesome

I waiting anxiously for this next book in The Kings of Kroydon Hills series and I was not left wanting! I loved every second of this story and already feel sad it's over. Just like with All In I was drawn into this book from the first page and felt like I was home. I didn't want to put it down, but I also didn't want it to end. Bella has created a world that makes me feel like I'm coming home when I read and has created characters that feel like friends. I love the bond between everyone and wish I could be a part of it. This story was simply amazing. Murphy and Sabrina are each other's yin to each other's yang and it was beautiful watching how they come together and fight for each other. I loved every second of this book and I already know it's going to be one of my favourites of the year! The best thing you can do is go and start this series if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed!

4 out of 5 stars.

This one was way better than the previous one. I think its mainly because theyre not in high school anymore. I wish we’d learned more about Sabrina in the last book.. but I wound up really liking her and Murphy together.

The random death of the teammate just felt a little out of nowhere for me… It was … i dunno— a bit there for shock value it felt like? It didnt really have much to do with the couple in general, or even the extended friend group.. it was just sad for no reason it felt like. Thats the big reason I took one star off.

Other than that, I thought the book was great if youre looking for a sweet, low-angst, found family college football romance. I enjoy the banter between everyone in their friends group and im really anxious to find out what happens with Annabelle and Declan. I hope Declan goes after her and its not like.. a whole back and forth thing.

Maybe Im just really into OTTJP heroes and i need to chill out

Murphy and Sabrina’s story. They have been friends since they were young and now that they are in college things are heating up. Sabrina has always had a bit of a crush on Murphy and been a bit bitchy to him because of it. That fades quickly once he shows his interest in her as well. Murphy is loud, funny, and larger than life. I loved him. Sabrina is the daughter of a political family and has lived her life knowing her every move is watched. As the two of them fall for one another they are faced with what it really means to be part of her family. Watching their dedication to one another while navigating that is beautiful. I loved how she stood up to her family for Murphy and their relationship. I loved how devoted and supporting Murphy was with her. It was a wonderful balance of independence and still being there for family.
This book is full of funny moments, a very sad tragedy, great banter, and very hot steam.
It can be read as a standalone, but you'll know the side characters a lot better if you read the series in order. The side characters are a big part of this author's writing; all of her books follow the same groups and it's a much richer experience to know them as they are introduced.
