Play by Play is about an outspoken, good looking, ex football player turned sports blogger named Jake that meets a new tenant in his building's elevator.No woman has been able to turn Jake's head lately until "elevator girl" comes along. Only problem is, his charm isn't exactly making her panties melt. What's a guy to do? He blogs about her!! They eventually become friends, date, fall in love and live happily ever after! Great story right?? WRONG!! Sometimes something sounds like a good plan... but then it doesn't exactly turn out to work as well as you had envisioned!Well, it sounded like it could have been a good story. I'd love to read that book! Could have been really cute too, but sadly it wasn't. It was pretty much a cheesy, early 90s after school sitcom.Jake- "Man, you're perfect. You know that?"Sophie- "We're perfect. Together. Oh Jake!" ... that was their first date!?It was very PG, aside from the couple of curse words... God forbid! It mentioned flirting and making out... when? I missed it. Pretty anticlimactic and predictable struggle(his with the lying, hers with the "I don't want a jock.. I do want a jock!") followed by an unbelievable and unrealistic ending.  He gets the girl, his dream job and everything he's ever wanted! And they lived happily ever after!I didn't care for Sophie's character at all and overall, the book was entirely too silly for me.*I received an arc provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
