Book Review: Keeping Score by Brittany Kelley
When I read the first book in this series, I remember thinking that Tristan was one of those characters I wanted to know more about. The first book was okay for me—I didn't love the characters or connect with the story as much as I would have liked—but Tristan definitely stood out. So when I got picked to read Keeping Score, I was actually really excited. I knew this one was going to be Tristan and Michelle's story, and I was ready to see where their chemistry from the first book would go.
Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed.
I really liked Tristan. He's this big goalie, but he's also incredibly chill, friendly, and just genuinely happy. He's the kind of character who is really easy to like, and I enjoyed getting more of his story. I was also really happy to get to know Michelle better because there was clearly more to her than what we saw in the first book.
Michelle ended up being one of my favorite parts of this story. She's independent, hardworking, and strong, and I really understood where she was coming from and why she had worked so hard to build the life she wanted. I thought she and Tristan were really good for each other, and their chemistry made their romance easy to root for.
I also have to say that I enjoyed this book quite a bit more than the first one. There was just a better energy here for me. It was cute, easygoing, a little spicy, and a really quick read.
This isn't a particularly deep story, and I don't think you should go into it expecting one. But sometimes that's exactly what I want. I call books like this palate cleansers—something fun and easy to read between heavier books. Keeping Score was perfect for that.
Overall, I'm really glad I got picked to read this one because it gave me exactly what I was hoping for: more Tristan, more Michelle, and a cute romance that was easy to enjoy.
