Kulti

Product Information

you are my best friend, my love, my playmate and my teammate. you’ll have a team with me wherever we are, with whatever we are playing.” The above line might be ok if the author uses it a couple of times in the book. But here, Zapata uses it around a dozen times and overkills it to hinder our reading experience. I had to stop reading this book while eating after that. As a formerly serious athlete myself with a SUPER tight relationship with my own father, I related to Sal in spades.

Sociopaths have a soft spot for blinking. A lot. 34 times for Kulti to be exact, and 86 times total. Now that's a bit much, don't you think? Kulti jest ostatnią książką Pani Zapaty, której jeszcze nie czytałam, a w zasadzie była pierwszą, która została wydana na naszym polskim rynku wydawniczym. Także musiałam ją w końcu nadrobić :D There was a lot of attention given to the minutiae about Sal’s daily life: every thought and conversation, every moment of soccer training and competing - beyond the absolute necessary. I think some of that detail could have been sacrificed for more detail about the interesting events summarised in the 2 minute epilogue. Those events looked worth reading about. NOT romantic when you're talking about their earliest interactions being when she was a kid and he was into adulthood! What're they gonna tell their kids? "See this frame right here, kids? This is the letter your mom sent me when she was seven! Oh, and over here! The three others she sent me, too!" She invites him to her coed softball league games, to her youth clinics, to even her home and they become…friends. Underneath their friendship is her very real crush that still has not been snuffed out by Kulti’s brusqueness or his past run in with her brother.

it's not like this is the best slow burn, enemies to friends to best friends to lovers i've ever read.

To say that this book was a slow-burn is putting it mildly. This story seemed to go on forever. I enjoyed it immensely, but I did think that it could have been trimmed down a little. Then again, Jeffrey Dahmer had been attractive, so good looks weren’t exactly the best scale of measurement for an individual’s mental health.sal has always played soccer, and she’s always been good at it. but it all started with her seeing the famous reiner “the king” kulti play on television when she was little. after that one game she decided she wanted to play soccer too, and she became a little more than a little bit obsessed with kulti. after some years tho something had happened between kulti and sal’s brother on the field. and then some years after that, sal’s coach suddenly announces that there’s a new assistant coach coming to the team, and guess who that is… Oh, I also mentioned you are 27, a member of very noisy, crowded but also good hearted family, an aspiring soccer star against your mother’s wishes, losing your chance to be in National Team because of your own fault and now the man of your dreams, your idol, your icon becomes your coach! Welcome to Sal Casillas’ world! People are going to judge you regardless of what you do, Sal. Don't listen to what they have to say because at the end of the day, you're the one that has to live with your choices and where they take you. No one else is going to live your life for you."
