Review: Rookie Mistake by Maren Moore
/About the Book
I won my brother’s rival in a Date the Player auction… and had the best night of my life.
Davis Guidry is Orleans University’s starting rookie pitcher.
He’s handsome, charming, and an all-around flirt.
After spending a hot, spontaneous night together, we can’t seem to keep our hands off each other.
But our no-strings fun comes crashing down when my overbearing brother, who happens to be Davis’s biggest rival, catches us in action.
Even that seems to only make the fire burn hotter when we’re together.
And suddenly, our secret fling starts to feel like something more than either of us bid on.
Are these casual hookups between us just a fun way to pass my freshman year…
Or have we made the ultimate rookie mistake and caught feelings?
Review
I went in with low expectations for Rookie Mistake. I’ve tried in the past to read books by Maren Moore, and I have rarely succeeded. I’m not a fan of her writing style and was willing to overlook it to at least be entertained and have fun with this one.
I could be overthinking this novella; however, I wasn’t entertained. There’s really no plot at all, and the character felt surface-level to me. They could be exchanged with any other characters in a hockey book and the story wouldn’t change. It was also pretty cringe when Davis proclaimed that Zara wasn’t like any other girl.
Final Thoughts
Rookie Mistake has no real substance. It feels like every other book with this same plot just condensed.
