Playing Dane

The football scenes felt so authentic and energetic, making me wonder if the author has a personal connection to the sport or did research to bring it to life.

Their banter and vulnerability seemed authentic, which made me root for them — but I’m curious if the author intentionally leaned into real emotions or kept it more playful.

The story seamlessly intertwined personal growth and athletic ambition—was that a conscious choice to reflect the realities of college life?
