Top of Her Game

I'm a big fan of FF soccer stories and M. Ulrich's addition to the subgenre is a really enjoyable one. I enjoyed the character development in this and the building of their relationship. It had a good pace and I especially liked some of the messages that it sends to younger readers, things like not getting into a relationship with someone who is already with someone and not immediately having sex if you are not comfortable with it. I thought these aspects of the story were well done and portrayed a different message from other FF romances I've read. I also liked the aspect of the story that was added with the trainer. To avoid spoilers, I will just say that it added to the story and took it in a different direction from what I was expecting.

I found the story to be very engaging and one that showed very strong women characters, which was another major plus. It is refreshing to see strong portrayals like this.

I would highly recommend this book, even if you are not a soccer fan. It is a very enjoyable read.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
