I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I am not a big sports fan personally, but the author does a good job of keeping my attention during the parts that actually involve soccer. The real content of this story comes more from the characters getting over obstacles present to them after being a couple than them actually getting together. There was a decent amount of non-relatoonship drama and the story took turns I hadn't anticipated. I really liked that it was not predictable to me.

My only complaint really just comes from what one of the main characters classifies as "waiting to have sex." It wasn't a deal breaker, but I couldn't help but feel like it crossed the line a bit of what is or isn't have sex.
