The Fantasy League (The League)

Product Information

And again, authors should seriously understand that being enemies and not liking eachother are two completely different things. They kept saying that the despised eachother and that they were eachother's nemesis or arch enemies when all it was was a misunderstanding that occurred in the second grade when they were just seven. I get that what happened did hurt her feelings but it's been over a decade since that incident and she should've seriously gotten over it. at the beginning he threw away all the food she cooked him bc she made him so nervous he couldn't eat?? I’m gonna be a bitch just to save a lot of you your time and list a few reasons why this book was a 1 star read for me:

only reason i’m giving 2 stars is bc i rly loved the after care part & bc they’re pretty cute i guess. the characters were almost unbearable. im still confused about Mae and Scarlett’s relationship and whether or not they were sisters. and while abel was a good guy and it was refreshing to see a book where the guy falls first, even I thought that he hated her, like why is he throwing away her food ??????? all of the characters could have been improved 10X more had the author spent a little more time on this book and developing a story where the readers truly feel connected to everyone they read about. Scarlett's no became a tentative yes, and somewhere in the midst of their charade, the lines between ruse and reality became blurred. The only reason this wasn't a complete 5 stars was the little jokey jokes about a certain religious group...it was, yes a little funny but also a bit tactless....they do honest work voluntarily....they could be out committing crimes or something....maybe we shouldn't make fun of them....consider one of them being a fellow reader and seeing that....I for one would a little upset/ offendedMaybe I'll change my rating later once I get enough time to think about it but for now this is how it is. ok this was tiktok scam at its prime, don't know how I had the will to finish this book but I do deserve a medal for it. When she burned the dress.... you better believe I took a moment to meditate on that level of pettiness... I truly hope to achieve it one day. this so sweet, cute, romantic, and freaking slooooowburn. the first time they do the deed was around 84% of the book. they fooled around but the actual act happened almost at the end of the book. anyway, it was adorable reading how they are very sweet and caring with each other or how they are "fake" dating but none of what they do screams fake. they were both attracted to each other and are both slowly falling while still being in this ruse, and it was satisfying and swoony to read. the thoughtfulness of these mcs are so endearing and i'm here for all of it.

Mae has been holding on to a grudge for too long. In 2nd grade, Molly (October's crush) made fun of Mae in front of others, hurting her badly & October just laughed without knowing that she had heard him. She knew it was childish but the words still stung her and made her cry. After a few chapters, she told him the whole story & he apologized to her for everything. ☺️ Mae met him when she was 5 years old and developed a crush on him, but due to a misunderstanding, they both started to hate each other, always competed with each other, and argued. After high school, they went on to build their careers and met 7 years later.But I do how to say, it's very fast-paced. I was on chapter two last night at like midnight and was able to finish it today at two pm. Now, for reasons still unclear to me, his coach tells him he needs to find a fake girlfriend (for…PR? For…matchmaking? For…practice in speaking to others?). I do not understand this, but we will move on for the sake of the other atrocities that take place in this. idk if it’s on purpose to focus more on the romance aspect but they’re supposedly grown adults with actual careers but it almost always feels like they’re college kids. who skip class often. it genuinely feels like even from the beginning, their whole lives revolve around each other which just feels off to me bc there was no structured timeline & like i said, a whole mess. both MC have a change in their manners that I really had to think and read again if i changed book all of a sudden With tensions between the two of them as high as ever, it was only right for them to try and relieve some of their pent up energy between the sheets, right?
