okay this was super cute

the lovely illustrations saved this tbh

maybe I just didn't get it but I could not vibe with a book that had 1) a teen r*ped by his mum's boyfriend who 2) is then forced into sex work where 3) he bangs his dad??? and 4) is just a bit racist to boot

so maybe if i was a teen in 2018 when this came out it might have hit more but unfortunately this was pretty basic reading it now

oh wow, yet another ‘classic' written by a man that is just racist, misogynistic and homophobic

how are you going to write a romance with zero buildup and zero chemistry?

completely and utterly boring

sorry but I would've send elketh packing day one after the stunts she pulled

this was....fine, but holy moly some parts of it really have not aged well

anthologies always tend to be mixed but I genuinely only liked 2/3 out of the 17 stories in this

probably a 3-star read in reality but it's the best adult f/f football romance I've read so 4 stars it is

tfw the author vaguely references events and calls it worldbuilding

I don't know why I keep reading stories that involve space because I don't like them

you can 1000% tell this was written by a man

sorry bobby but this book was so repetitive at times!

still a liverpool legend though

if this wasn't SO long (way too long imo) and had fewer slurs maybe I would've given it a higher rating

I thought this was going to be a lot cuter than it actually was.
why were they going around calling their classmates bimbos and sluts??

just couldn't get into it at all

genuinely what? how anyone could want to get married to someone who actively participated in their torture? it's just not it

also one of the mcs called herself ‘smexy' and no adult should be embarrassing themselves like that

if you have any knowledge of these high profile crimes/murderers then this collection is just very very basic

I don't even care that they fell for each other so quickly, this was cute af

not miss pinnock having an emotional affair with a man in a long term relationship who's also colourist

just not for me sadly
