“Trust me, I’ve wanted to punch you in the face a time or five.”
When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to.
It didn't take a week for 27-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon - why she'd ever had his posters on her wall or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.
Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man who hadn't known she'd existed. So she isn't prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team's season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he'd once been.

I couldn’t get into this one. Maybe it was the fact that the backstory felt like it was taking forever because it’s an audio book. Maybe it was the fact that Sal wouldn’t shut up about her obsession about Kulti. It got old real fast. Or maybe it was the fact that Kulti didn’t seem real because he didn’t hardly speak but ten words in the time I listened to it. It sucks that I didn’t like it but I think I will give it another try later on down the road. And I think I will just read it instead of listening to it. That medium for this type of book will help with the slowness and/or fastness issue.
Did you at least like Sal’s Dad? He made me laugh and laugh…
