Fangirl Down
A Novel
Description of book
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance series with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan...
Wells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star, but lately, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover, a collection of broken clubs, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life.
Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash…
As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right?

My first Tessa Bailey did not disappoint. Also my first ever audio book. Loved Josephine and Wells’ relationship so much. I’m bad at reviews but I really enjoyed it :)

I'm a sucker for a romance and a happy ending but dang these two need therapy. The story has a nice original starting point and a unique setting, which was interesting to me as something new and imaginative. The romance writing is very "chick lit" - easy to read, a little bit steamy, but overall nothing groundbreaking. I like that the characters are flawed and creative, and they make mistakes and struggle their way through resolving their conflicts. However, there's certainly an unhealthy level of codependency portrayed here, as well as some problematic behaviours exhibited by the characters. True of us all, I'm sure, but I find it a bit short-sighted to include that in a relationship but neglect to illustrate the work and healing required to make something like that work. Perhaps that's a little too much to ask of a popular rom-com, but I don't see the harm in modelling healthy relationships in a book like this. Overall I enjoyed the story and even shed a tear at the ending.

I don’t think narration could have saved this book for me on any level. This was a desperate read as I needed to get the hours used before renewal. I have deep regrets with choosing this and trauma from shower scene
