Attrape-Moi: Une Romance Sportive (La Tristesse de Spring Hill t. 2)

The tension builds so naturally, but I wonder if the pacing was a deliberate choice to make the payoff more satisfying. Did the author plan this arc from the start or let it evolve?

Their banter and chemistry are so fun, but I kept wondering if the story made it too easy to overlook their initial hostility. How did others feel about the enemies-to-lovers dynamic here?

The sports backdrop added a lot of energy and authenticity, but I'm curious if the author has a personal connection to football or high school life that influenced the story.
