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.It didn't take a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon--why she'd ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn't known she'd existed. So she isn't prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team's season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he'd once been.Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know.Or the murderous urges he brought out in her."Sal, please don't make me visit you in jail. Orange isn't your color."This was going to be the longest season of her life.

Tbh this was a 4 star book up until one specific scene towards the end that just didn't sit right with me
First of all, that poop 💩 thing was hilarious. Clever way to stop revering your crush.
Second of all, Sal's father was the cutest!!!! His reactions towards Kulti, hahahaha. Her father really stole the spotlight.
Next, I think I prefer Winnipeg more than this one, but Kulti still held the expectations.
The things I like:
The way Kulti one-sidedly said Sal as his best friend, the way he fell for her first, the way he still treated everyone else like dirt except her... and that moment when Sal realised she still in love with him. That confession she made about her being a fangirl, hahahahah. So cute.
I read this one freaking day. This was so wholesome and cute. The best romance I've read in a hot minute!
“Nothing would happen. We would have a different adventure to go on. You are my best friend, my love, my playmate and my teammate. You'll have a team with me wherever we are, with whatever we are playing.”
