"it feels like i've been waiting for this to happen all my life, waiting for you to happen."

"on and off the field, you're my hardest fall. no one has ever compared, and no one ever will. it was always going to be you for me."

yet another book that proves friends to lovers is the most slept on/underrated trope!! i actually liked this a lot more than i was expecting to. zoe and dylan's slow progression from strangers, to friends, to lovers was such a delight to read. i loved all the scenes of them hanging out and getting to know each other, becoming best friends and then eventually developing stronger feelings for each other. the way dylan always, without fail, took care of her and made her feel special, loved, and respected was sooo cute. i also liked how his character wasn't just some hotshot football fuckboy at the university. him being a football player is much more of a side plot rather than the main story. don't get me wrong, i enjoy a good smutty sports romance as much as the next girl, but this wasn't that, and i'm glad, because i think it would have taken away from the friends to lovers aspect.

i would recommend if you want a cutesy friends to lovers college romance :)
