Marley went home because she had to... She had nowhere else to go after being downsized, dumped, and cheated on. It's been twenty years since she left, and it seems her name was still whispered (in disgrace). With nothing to do, Marley accepted a temporary position as girl's soccer team coach... of the losing-est team in school history. But with a little help from fellow coach (cross-country running) Jake, maybe it wouldn't be that bad. But when a celebration after a hard-fought win fed the rumor mill, and the two were called to principal's office to sign an ethics contract to be in a committed relationship (for the kids' sake, set example and all that), Jake was happy to be Marley's "fake" boyfriend with a quid-pro-quo arrangement: he'll teach her how to coach, and she'll teach him how to love. But it's all fake... right? She's leaving after the summer's over... right?
The fake relationship pivot was handled quite well, even though Jake was introduced kinda late. 4.5/5
