About This Audiobook
Sal Casillas spent her teenage years with a poster of Reiner Kulti on her bedroom wall. Now she is a professional soccer player, twenty-seven years old and considerably less impressed, and Kulti has arrived as her team's new coach — sullen, reclusive, and nothing like the international icon she once worshipped. Mariana Zapata's slow-burn romance allows the reader to spend nearly seventeen hours watching two people recognize each other with the careful patience the format demands.
Kyla Garcia and PJ Ochlan narrate in alternating perspectives that give both characters equal weight — an important choice for a story where the challenge is making the reader understand both Sal's wariness and Kulti's gradual emergence from whatever closed him off. Zapata's hallmark is patience, and the audio format is ideally suited to a romance that takes its time building the infrastructure of genuine connection.
