REVIEW POSTED ONLINE: APR 15, 2025
Zeke has a chip on his shoulder from rich parents that completely ignore him but the stunning tutor with a stutter might just be the one to give him a wake-up call.

REVIEW
What I Liked:I think The Failing Hours does a good job exploring what might be behind someone's terrible attitude and then challenging that character to make some changes. It's easy to judge someone like Zeke when they only have negative things to say, but sometimes they need someone like Violet to be understanding while still calling them out on their unacceptable behavior.
What Bothered Me:Some of Zeke's a*hole bevahior was truly cringe-worthy and hard to read.
Overall:I would recommend The Failing Hours to someone looking for a NA college sports romance featuring a macho MMC. The sport is wrestling, but there's really only one very short wrestling scene so I wouldn't let that turn you off if it's not your favorite.
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
Heat Index: 🔥🔥🔥 (3/5)
