The Right Swipe is an amazing, well written story about two people of color falling in love as they come to terms with how the physical, psychological, and emotional traumas they experienced continue to affect them both.

Anyone have recs for romances featuring women’s league/national team? My first thought is FMC/Soccer player in Mariana … Continue reading The Rec League: Women’s Leagues and National Teams
