My Review
OMG! This book was amazing! I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one day.
I loved the plot, the characters and the dual POVs.
Ronan had a traumatic past which changed his life. Totally understandable. In the beginning of the book he was so lost but I couldn't blame him. What I loved about him how he changed afterwards. He was strong and became an appreciated coach in a little town. I loved how his character developed.
Nova didn't have an easy past either. Her past wasn't as traumatic as Ronan's but she was hurt too which changed her and her relationships.
I loved them together. They didn't want anything serious, Ronan didn't want a relationship, and Nova didn't want to be with a famous athlete. But they had chemistry and became "friends".
Despite their sad and tragic pasts this story was funny. I loved them together, sometimes I laughed out loud. This story warmed my heart. I enjoyed reading both of their thoughts, both if their povs.
I absolutely loved this book this is why I finished it in record time. Everything was amazing: the plot, the characters, the writing. I loved the character's name too. It was sweet, funny and hot too. I can't say anything negative about the story. Top recommendation! 5* favorite book!

Véleményem:
Úr Isten! Ez a könyv fantasztikus volt, egyszerűen nem tudtam letenni! Egy nap alatt kiolvastam!
Imádtam a cselekményt, a szereplőket és a kettős nézőpontot.
Ronan átesett egy tragédián, ami megváltoztatta az egész életét. Teljesen érthető módon. A könyv elején rettentően elveszett volt, amiért nem is tudtam hibáztatni. De nagyon tetszett, ahogy talpra állt és megváltoztatta az életét. Igazén erős karakter, aki volt olyan erős, hogy új életet kezdjen és végül egy kisvárosban elismert edző lett. Nagyon jó volt olvasni ahogy fejlődött a karaktere.
Nova élete sem volt egyszerű, bár nem volt annyira traumatikus, mint Ronan-é. De a múltban történtek őt is megváltozatták, főleg Nova pasikhoz és párkapcsolathoz való viszonyulását.
Nagyon szerettem őket együtt. Egyikőjük sem akart komoly párkapcsolatot, Ronan egyáltalán nem akart kapcsolatban élni, Nova pedig nem akart híres sportolóval együtt lenni. De nagyon vonzódtak egymáshoz és "barátok" lettek.
Tragikus múltjuk ellenére ez egy vicces történet volt. Nagyon jó volt olvasni, sokszor hangosan fel is nevettem. Igazán szívmelenget történet. Szuper volt olvasni mindkettejük gondolatait, nézőpontját.
Azt kell mondjam, hogy imádtam olvasni a könyvet. Minden tökéletes volt: a történet, a szereplők, a stílus. Tetszenek a szereplők nevei is. Egy vicces, édes és olykor forró rmantikus történet. Semmi rosszat nem tudok róla mondani. Abszolút kedvenc! 5*

A former high school English teacher, she adores all things Pride and Prejudice, and of course, Mr. Darcy is her ultimate hero.
She's addicted to frothy coffee beverages, cheesy magnets, and any book featuring unicorns and sword-wielding females. Feel free to stalk her online.
