Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Home Field Advantage is both a cute romance book and a serious topic book. I thought it was able to mix discussions of misogyny, the patriarchy, and homophobia with a cute romance between two amazingly strong women very well. Since the story is told from the dual POVs of Jack and Amber, it was fun to see how Amber and Jack felt about their relationship with each other and how they dealt with the issues at hand. I did get frustrated a bit here and there because of how certain characters handled certain situations, but because of this these characters felt more real and in the end I was happy with how things turned out. It was a roller coaster of a ride.
This book might not be for everyone but I think it's worth giving it a shot because it has a good story to tell.
