The Fantasy League (The League)

Product Information

The book felt very rushed at it genuinely had no purpose what so ever. And I also can't get over the weird names he called her. I'm happy that Mae decided to study further & stop her business. She was banned from the industry because she outed her former boss for stealing money from underaged models for illegal activities, so he started spreading lies about her everywhere. She started her own company but it was going downhill. I'm happy that he went to jail. The epilogue was cute. ✨ one of my pet peeve is when a newer book is eerily similar to an older book, and this one just felt too much like The Wall of Winnipeg; from the plot, to the characters … it was like getting deja vu. while the book wasn’t entirely the same, i just had a hard time separating the two. 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. Both the main character Mae and the love interest October were very immature and they should just get a life.

Maybe I'll change my rating later once I get enough time to think about it but for now this is how it is. only reason i’m giving 2 stars is bc i rly loved the after care part & bc they’re pretty cute i guess. According to Mae Garten, those were a few of the choice words she’d use to describe her long-standing sparing partner, October Calhoun.

October was caring, gentle, & attentive toward her. The aftercare scene was JUST SO CUTE. 🥺😩 Even though they hated each other, he never wanted to hurt her feelings. His dirty talking >>> And the ending…the ending elicited an audible groan from me. ( he proposes, she says yes, they have a shotgun wedding the next day, then cheerfully try for babies, all cocooned in some of the worst writing, and *twitching members* I have ever had the misfortune to read). 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. ☺️ again why keeping the sibling thing a secret???? literally no one gave a shit about them being related at the beginning he threw away all the food she cooked him bc she made him so nervous he couldn't eat??

The only question was, would an enigma from Abel's recent past tear them apart for good or bring them closer together than ever? all the characters in this book were annoying as hell. abel? freakishly obsessed with a woman he’s barely spoken to, and appears to have a brain condition that renders him incapable of functioning like a normal human being around her for 8 months. scarlett? scarily co-dependent with her best friend that she insists on calling her sister, and seems to have the emotional awareness of a 13 y/o. i also never knew that liking a color could be a personality trait, but hey, you learn something new everyday. the rest of the side characters? they were all loud and obnoxious, and basically read like the same person split into 3. This book felt like it barely had any plot until the accidental pregnancy trip that came out of nowhere in the last couple of chapters and keep in mind that is one of least favorite tropes.He fell so hard from the start and that was right up my alley😮‍💨 Congrats to Abel being my first ever book boyfriend (that I can recall) with the name Abel.
