Gavin and Oliver have undeniable chemistry, but their absolute care for each others pain, emotions, and fears, makes you route for them all the more. They listen, they help, they try to understand, even when they are upset or angry with the other. They are there for one another, because even if they "hate" each other, they love their team. On the pitch, their playing is so synchronized they are an unstoppable force of will and determination. All they need to do is channel that drive and confidence into their love lives. The Bergman family is all in attendance. Sticking their noses into Oliver's business, especially Viggo, and it makes for several hilarious, but also heartfelt, moments. The family is just so genuine, so loving, so endearing, that it is hard not to instantly like them and route for all of them top find their happiness. But, I also loved Gavin's support system in a group of old poker dudes. He does not open up often, but these elderly gentlemen have lived long enough not to put up with his grumpiness. They are able to needle information out of Gavin, with the hopes that they can at least ease some of his burdens. I loved his book, it was a fast paced read because the story progressed well. Oliver and Gavin's love felt real and the emotions in this book are so raw. The love they show each other, even when they feel at their worst, is so precious. Gavin cannot seem to move past this feeling that once he is no longer a soccer star he will be purposeless and unnecessary. Whereas, Oliver bears anxiety from the weight of perceived expectations, as well, he is avoiding love due to having been hurt in the past. It takes a lot for these two to be able to move past these complications, but when they do it is absolute fireworks! Highly recommend this book. It has its sad moments, tense moments, but it is also filled with love, devotion, and STEAM!
