the jealousy scenes when i tell you KULTI WAS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE, THESE WERE TOP TIER SCENES >>> While there were tons of unnecessary things, important ones were left out. Like Eric. Sal keeps mentioning how close she is to her brother and how they talk often, yet he never makes an appearance in the entire book? She mentions two calls with him, but they're recounted after the fact and skimmed over. How you gonna tell me that Eric is the sibling she's closest to, yet it's Cecy who makes more appearances in the book than him? Even Eric's bffs are in the book while he isn't. (Not surprising, I guess. Near the end when Kulti's sitting with her parents, she thinks that they're the three people she loves most in the world. Wtf happened to that brother you were supposedly ~so close~ to, Sal?) This book also really brings home that what works for one reader might not work for another, too; I absolutely loved the first 7/8ths or so with the great immersion in Sal’s life, but was frustrated by the last part because some of the later revelations felt jarring (e.g., what was framed on his wall) and the sex felt somewhat obligatory. It also felt like some connections got dropped, particularly with Sal’s friends and coach; it makes me wonder if there will be a later book with Jenny or with Harlow (who reminds me a little of the Harlow from Christina Lauren’s series), either of which I’d want to read. Sal is one of the most fun, entertaining and refreshing heroines. She’s relatable, interesting, and being in her head is never annoying or boring. My man Kulti was not quite as lovable as Sal in the beginning, but by the end he had me swooning! And a special shout out to Sal’s dad. What a fantastic secondary character! It’s a long book, but I never felt like it was long, slow or boring. It was paced well. And written well. And all around AMAZING! Seriously, can you tell how much I loved this book?!?

anyone that knows me knows the repetition in mz’s books drives me CRAZY. her quirky writing is too much for me most times but the fact that i could overlook it in this book says so much. The concept was very different. A 27 year old women becoming friends and eventually falling in love with the celebrity that motivated her to start her dream when she was 7 and the same man she had a crush on until she was 16/17? Calm down, take a deep breath, and get it together, Sal. Focus. I needed to focus on something else to relax. I chose his office walls.You are my gift, my second chance, and I will cherish you and your dream. I will protect both of you. I listened to the Audible version of this book and I thought that it was fabulous. I loved the humor and the wittiness of the heroine, Sal Casillas. Kulti was a real piece of work at times and I loved that Sal wasn't afraid to call him out on his assholery. (Yep! I'm making that a word.) Po prostu styl Zapata. :-) Slow burn z mieszanka hate-love do tego roznica wieku miedzy glownymi bohaterami. Glownym tematem jest pilka nozna wiec dla fanow sportowych romansow na pewno jedna z lepszych pozycji do polecenia. Solidnie dopracowana historia, jedynie co doskierwialo mi w czytaniu to zachowanie glownego bohatera. Powiedzmy sobie szczerze ze zachowanie takie jakie on soba prezentowal, mimo wszystko nie mogloby miec miejsca w rzeczywistosci, zero odpowiedzi na wywody glownej bohaterki, ignoracja. Doskonale zdaje sobie sprawe ze takie osoby istnieja (mialam z nie jedna stycznosc niestety),ale takie zachowanie mocno odtraca, i na pewno nie zacheca do dalszej konwersacji - a jednak, nasza glowna bohaterka sie nie poddawala. Do tego ten przeskok w relacjach oschly na przyjcielski byl moim zdaniem w porzadku, ale potem z przyjacielskiego na romantyczny to tak sie to pojawilo z nieba w sumie :D Ale taki styl jest Marianny wiec nie moge sie rzucac. Tak czy siak goraco zachecam do przeczytania :-) I listened all the way to the end because I liked Sal despite her too many references to “poop”; and I lived in hope the romance would actually start at some point. There were hints of Kulti's possessiveness at the 10.5 hour mark, but not much else. Disappointingly, I didn’t feel this story was romantic at all. I usually like sex in romances, but when sexy times happened here, they felt out of context because there had been no build-up of sexual tension or build up to love. We are TOLD they love one another, but I needed to be SHOWN during the plentiful 16 hours of opportunity. If there was heat, it happened in the last 2.5 hours, and at best I’d call it luke warm. My only complaint with this book is that it takes forever for anything to happen between these two outside of friendship.

You can find a really cute little epilogue scene here: https://www.marianazapata.com/kulti-o...... Thanks to Hulya for mentioning it in her review...just paying it forward for others to enjoy by doing the same. Here’s what I saw happening: independent, driven, socially intelligent Sal basically hands over agency over her life and poor, wonderfully taciturn and complex Kulti, a 40-year old adult, starts to act like a jealous adolescent. And they live happily ever after. And there’s an epilogue tagged on about her career. sal has always played soccer, and she’s always been good at it. but it all started with her seeing the famous reiner “the king” kulti play on television when she was little. after that one game she decided she wanted to play soccer too, and she became a little more than a little bit obsessed with kulti. after some years tho something had happened between kulti and sal’s brother on the field. and then some years after that, sal’s coach suddenly announces that there’s a new assistant coach coming to the team, and guess who that is… what the f is this sorcery- this is going a little too fast ms. zapata i thought they were gonna graze their fingers around 80% but the fact that they bumped shoulders in the first half i- this is too much.

A friend of mine said that the first chapter is to hook the reader on the present book and the last chapter is to get the reader to buy the next book (not necessarily in the series but just any book by the author). And truly the ending of this book left me with such a good book feeling that it erased all the negative ones I had during the first 50% of the book where I struggled to become engaged. I think knowing that the book is slow but that the reward is worthwhile is important going into this book. Then again, Jeffrey Dahmer had been attractive, so good looks weren’t exactly the best scale of measurement for an individual’s mental health. When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to. was this book perfect?? absolutely not. but it was perfect to me and thats all that matters. im gonna forgive its flaws i love her enough for it i don’t wanna hear any slander. This was why I gave it a 1. Before this, I was around a 2 because, while I didn't think it was great, I didn't feel it was super awful, either. BUT, then Zapata was pushing this true love/destiny BS at the end, and then combined with the age difference and how he still kept her letters, it was just too creepy for me. Oh, and it didn't make sense.
