Pumped by K.M. Neuhold (2nd) I’m just a nerd, standing in front of a bench press, asking it not to humiliate me in front of my gym crush I’ve never walked into a gym on purpose in my life, and I’m not sure which part is more shocking, the massive beefcake who immediately challenges me to arm wrestle or the fact that I kind of want to come back.

Review below cut

Thanks so much to Harper Kids and Netgalley for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

This was such a wild ride from start to finish. I was completely hooked from the start.

I’ll admit that all my theories were wrong and I really didn’t see the reveal coming. Maybe I was just so set on what I thought was happening that I missed the signs, but all I know is I was shook.

“Nate” was such a great main character. I really loved following his journey and his emotional rollercoaster.

I LOVED Nate’s family. Especially after everything went down and they still loved him anyway. It just made my heart feel so full.

The romance unfortunately didn’t really do anything for me and I think the book could have done without it. I think they worked better as friends, personally. I also found the pacing a little off in places.

But overall a really solid read.
