What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Bietz has done a good job of plotting and developing characters within a Texas-football framework, making this a nice option for readers looking for sports stories with depth or LGBTQ+ themes.”–Booklist“A vivid picture of football culture in a small town…. It is exciting to see more books featuring queer love stories, especially ones that take place in Texas.”–SLJ“This sports romance includes all the pageantry of small-town Texas with none of the homophobia. When it comes to their sexuality, both main characters experience nothing but love and support from their community, including their local pastor and his husband…. Engrossing.”–Kirkus Reviews
