A romance where no actual romance-ing happens.
Garrett and Callie dated back in high school, broke up when Callie went to college and when she returns to her home town, they start dating again almost immediately — no development, no conflict, nothing whatsoever.
There were loads of times when there just took many misogynistic, right-wing comments for my taste, like making fun of the "mega-feminist" teacher for trying to ban MAGA apparel from school, just so unnecessary. Or Garrett's students calling Callie "Mrs. Coach Dean" when they get together.
Garrett himself is also just a bit of a dick. He talks about how much coaching has developed since he played but still lets his co-trainer (whose the guidance counselor, which just makes it even worse) continuously scream and verbally abuse his students.
Callie just gives up her whole life for him and to have his babies and I have absolutely no issue with that but the way it was written was just plain uncomfortable.
