Out of Her League by Ava Rani
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
💜 Candle Pairing: Slothy Oak

My first read from Ava Rani and this book just made me a permanent resident of her fan club.
Isa is the daughter of two famous doctors, and is constantly trying to live up to their expectations. The feelings Isa had about wanting to be the best at what she does and then struggling when she realizes that what she wants vs what is expected of her are different.
But what brought that feeling of change? GASP...a MAN!
Austin is a pro soccer player who made it big in Europe, but returned home to the states to help his best friend who was sick. He's 8 years older than Isa and considering retiring from his sport, but doesn't know what his next move should be. Is it the thing he's being told is best? Is it to keep playing? Or is it a secret third option that ends up feeling just right?

Without saying toooooo much and spoiling anything, these two end up fake dating for a wedding abroad and of courrrrrrse end up becoming close. The way their friendship blossomed and grew, along with their trust in each other, made rooting for them so easy and fun. They support one another and help each other realize what they truly want.
I was fearing a third act breakup, but these two really stuck it out and communicated so so well after a slight cool off period to get their heads on straight.

Adults doing adult shit while falling in love. SWOOOOON

Thank you NetGalley & Avon for an e-ARC to read early!
