While tagged as a romance, I feel like there was a lot more going for this one!
The book follows Olivia and Zeke. Olivia scores an internship at the summer games and Zeke is there as a runner for Team Great Britain. When they <b>bump</b> into each other for the first time, sparks fly but they both have other things to worry about at the moment.
I enjoyed seeing both characters back stories and seeing what brought them there. There was a lot of great discussions, and I loved watching them both go after their dreams at full force. They were both such honest and real characters. The side characters were also so entertaining throughout all the adventures they were put through. All the Olympics event and vibes were there, and it was very enjoyable!
I will note this definitely felt more of a YA than an adult book imo.
