[Thalia S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful little romance, kinda basic boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl-back plot, but very well done. The beat-up football hero and PT heroine are well-written and there are some cool minor characters. I especially liked the lady doctor who runs the place.
