A perfectly good romance, but it was a bit of a miss for me. It felt a bit flat, there was no suspense or conflict that didn't resolve very fast. 
I really liked the characters though, they had very distinct and interesting personalities.

Putting into words what I liked about this book is difficult. A lot of it is simply to die for - the writing style, the accuracy of the historical setting, the way each character feels like a real human being (flaws and all). This story, in the end, is about having the courage to keep trying even when life goes wrong. It manages to make that message not feel superficial, which is a monumental accomplishment in and of itself. 

The only thing holding me back from rating it higher is that I was much more endeared to Mark's POV than I was to Eddie's. Which isn't to say that Eddie's chapters were lacking, exactly, moreso that Mark's journey through grief was more captivating to me than Eddie's slow process of self-discovery.

I didn’t love this book as much as ‘We Could Be So Good’ but it was still a nice queer romance. I had zero interest in baseball before this book but I did enjoy being immersed into its culture. Full of emotional moments but also funny parts that balance it out. I felt the characters were really fleshed out and appropriately flawed and real feeling. I would not reread this book but I did enjoy it.

This was incredible. Mark is a new favourite character of mine, and my only gripe is that this book wasn’t 200 pages longer.
