A glance was all it took. That kind of connection, the immediate understanding of another person, just doesn’t come along very often. And as rising stars on their Texas high schools’ respective basketball teams, destined for futures in professional leagues, it seems like a match made in heaven. But Carli and Rex both have secrets.

Carli hates basketball and, in the wake of her parents’ crumbling marriage, uses Rex as a crutch—someone to cling to while her life falls apart. Rex comes home to an empty house and an absent father. He’s hardened himself against the lack of affection, but now he has Carli. But how much love can you give another person when you don’t love yourself?

Olivia F. ★★★★★

That first-chapter hook about the glance and immediate connection pulled me in immediately. The tension between the two basketball players feels incredibly real and the Texas setting is well-drawn.

Amelia E. ★★★★★

I’ve been reading a lot of YA contemporaries lately, and this one hits different because the dual Texas high school setting makes the rivalry feel real and immediate. The way the basketball scenes are woven into the romance kept me turning pages fast.

Ellie K. ★★★★★

I’ve been rereading the scene where they connect over basketball, and the tension feels so real—like I’m right there in the gym. The way the author makes that first glance feel electric is honestly what kept me turning pages.
