Maren Moore is perfect at sports romance, and I will not be told otherwise.

This book follows Addie and Grant through a very "A Cinderella Story" -esque book! We open up with ArtGirl (Addie) and OrleansU11 (Grant) meeting through an anonymous forum on their school website. They instantly hit it off with amazing banter. Eventually they find themselves talking constantly every day, getting to know each other - well, besides who they really are. Grant asks Addie to meet many times in person, but that isn't something she wants to do. She likes the anonymity of their conversations and don't want that pressure of knowing. They confide in each other about their struggles and Addie tells him about her Stepfather forcing her to get married to keep her mother's bakery - the only thing she has left of her late mother. Grant offers to marry her instead but then suddenly, ArtGirl goes silent, and Grant has no idea what to do. He felt she was the only person who truly knew him, with no standards or expectations but without knowing who she really is - he can't find her.

Nine months go by, and Addie is still working at the bakery, but Amos and Earl - who also work at the bakery - see that she is stressed and encourages her to have a college experience, to go out to a party and just give it a try. Addie is reluctant because she much prefers to stay home, but she goes anyways. Instead of actually joining the party she finds solace on the back deck where it's quiet and empty - there she draws in her sketchpad and can tell Ams and Earl she went to the party.

As she is enjoying her time on the porch, suddenly out of nowhere a guy comes bursting out and is attempting to pee over the railing... So of course she needs to make her presence known. They hang out for a bit and see that they click instantly, but once it hits midnight Addie is out oof there! Only... she leaves behind her sketchbook and doesn't give this guy her name.

A couple weeks go by, and porch guy aka Grant wants to find the girl he spent that night hanging out on the porch with. He knows nothing about her BUT he does have her sketchbook which he has no realized is likely ArtGirl who ghosted him months ago... So, he does the only thing he can do. Make a million posters looking for  ArtGirl saying that he has something of hers that she very likely wants back to put all over the school. He tells her to reach out where they first started talking if she wants it back... aka the school's anonymous forum they started talking on those many months ago.

Addie does reach out and confides in him about her being forced to get married in two weeks to save her mother's bakery, but Grant never forgets the offer to marry her first. And there we have the beginning of the story...

I really enjoyed Grant and Addie! From the beginning their banter was unmatched (something that Maren Moore always does amazingly)! I loved how supportive they were for each other and how much they were able to communicate. Both characters were perfect for each other, and although they came from different worlds, they had so much understanding for each other.

Grant was a total sweetheart and protective of Addie. I loved that Addie found someone she could rely on. For so much of her time, she was alone, but Grant would never let her feel that way again. It went both ways though! Addie seen Grant as more than just an athlete and he needed that.

Their connection was palpable, and you couldn't help but root for them the whole time. Through it all, their trust and communication were amazing. Even the side characters were so sweet and added a lot to the story.

Overall, I loved it and cannot wait to visit Orleans University again in the future!
