I wanted to not like this. This is clearly a fictional accountll of a certain pop singer relationship to a football player, almost feels like plagiarism on how much "borrows" from what's publicly known of that story.
Down to the phone number on a friendship bracelet, tape masters, spoiled cat but as a dog, and dad manager.
 
Yet, the author managed to insert enough unkown details to make the story interesting. Docked a star for lack of imagination and originality. I really resisted liking it, but cannot deny the tale's appeal.

    I loved this! It's a great quick, light read, full of body positivity, and spice! The fat woman gets the big man. I loved Wiener the Pooh, LOL, such a cute little pup. Plus, all the T. Swift references. It also had a decent plot, so it wasn't pointless fluff, but still spicy fluffy.
    I never trusted Skeeter, she was working Kelsey too hard from the get-go. 
   

Narrators' Rating: 5.0 stars
  Both narrators did an excellent job!

I really enjoy these stories because they are light and entertaining. They’re funny and relatable. But the writing could use some improvement. A bit of a predictable storyline but it’s not meant to be too serious, so it gets the job done.

unfortunately i did not like this book as much as the first. i loved the characters but i didn’t connect with it as much as the first and once i realised it was basically a taylor swift x travis kelce fanfic it put me off a little (not that there is anything wrong with that but it took me out of the world a little and it just didn’t hit me like the others). a shame but still enjoyable. one thing i did like was that even though it was grumpy x sunshine, kelsey never actually thought of him as “mean” or grumpy as everyone portrayed him and thought of him as and he nevertrated her that way. i’m excited for everett’s book!
