What I Liked:
The interference of Emily’s friends and the way that everyone on Summersweet Island knows everyone’s business is hilarious. I liked Quinn as a MMC and how persistent he was in breaking Emily down to agree with his plans to keep seeing her. The bantering text exchanges were one of my favorite things about the book.
What Bothered Me:
I didn’t really click with the FMC, Emily, very well and was hoping to see a little different outcome with the situation with her parents.
Overall:
First and Tension is a funny football and cheerleading romance that doesn’t go real deep into either sport. I would recommend reading the Summersweet Island series in order if you’re not a fan of spoilers, because First and Tension definitely had a few mentions of events that happened in earlier books.
