Even with the admittedly weird names 
 Even with the (if you wanna be a nitpicking jerk about it) slightly "racist" nicknames 
 Even if the author took some liberties with the history of German football/football in general 
 ...I just loved this book <3 
 Sal is a great heroine who made me laugh all the time and grumpy, rude and moody Rey just stole my heart. 
 Be warned, this is a slow burn romance and doesn't contain many sex scenes (I think 2-3 scenes and those were fairly tame) but it was a nice change of pace from all those one of a million romances with hardly any story between sex scenes. It didn't take away from the intensity of the book at all. 
 This book was a really nice surprise for me and even though the story is a standalone I really hope the author will come back to these characters one day.
