Mac's Reviews > How You Get the Girl

I think it’s my sworn duty to read every queer southerner romance🫡 plus the Taylor Swift title…I mean I couldn’t have been more sold. And then even just the dedication immediately got me.
As for the book itself, I’m not a sports fan at all, but I think I must be a sports romance fan because the flirty competition??? It’s everything.
Julie and Elle are both great and complement each other so well. I love the whole “late bloomer” aspect and discussions of how there should be no pressure to figure out your identity. I also loved how Elle, specifically, was completely supportive since Julie was super self-conscious about it. They were both just so supportive and caring for each other and their loved ones. I appreciated that they encouraged each other to extend that same care to themselves and be more forgiving and gracious to themselves, even if they weren’t where they thought they’d be in life or thought they had too many shortcomings.

they take care of each other!!!

The pencils!!!
