Sehr süße YA Highschool Sports RomCom mit Queerer Repräsentation. Der Plot ist nichts was man nicht schon gelesen hätte, was aber nicht negativ sein muss. Ich mochte, dass es zwar Klischees bedient, aber nicht wirklich jedes ausgereizt hat. Die Protagonistin ist lesbisch und Plus Size, was aber tatsächlich nie ein Problem für sie und ihr Umfeld war. Sie hat eine tolle Familie mit der sie sich gut versteht und einen stabilen Freundeskreis. Sie wirkt die meiste Zeit doch recht gefestigt und ziemlich reflektiert für ihr Alter. Das hat sich für mich tatsächlich von der Masse dieser Art Bücher abgehoben. Natürlich gibt es auch das übliche Teenie Drama, das gehört einfach dazu. Was bei mir jetzt nicht so ankam waren leider die Gefühle und die Lovestory an sich. Da hätte ich mir mehr erhofft. Couple Time war etwas zu rar gesät für meinen Geschmack. Aber insgesamt ein schönes, unterhaltsames Buch für zwischendurch.
