I loved watching these two fall in love and finally admit to falling in love, but there’s a lot of sadness and grief throughout this book, too. It takes place at a time when being gay is dangerous, and far from ignoring or shying away from that fact, it becomes a major plot point. My one quibble about this book is that the audiobook narrator’s high-class, mid century NYC accent really grated on me. If I read more in this series, it won’t be on audio.

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗

The dialogue was SO good!  I really enjoyed this book and all the characters.  Queer sport romance books will always have a special place in my heart and this is now added to that list.  While I know little to nothing about baseball this book suddenly had me interested.

There is such a good balance of coping with grief and maintaining a great level of entertainment.  The relationship was 10/10, Mark and Eddie had great chemistry and worked so well with one another.

Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Angst Level: 💧💧

POV: Duel, Third Person

This book is beautiful, but it's so slow and I just can't spend this much time in such a sad spot.
