I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I almost DNF’d this book at 15%— it was so cringey. Gretchen sees her favorite baseball player at airport who was just booted to the minors. She decides to buy him a coffee (knowing his exact order — coffee with cream, no sugar) and they immediately hit it off. From there he upgrades her to a first class ticket on the flight to Las Vegas and they’re smitten. It felt too much like insta-love which is not my cup of tea.
Thankfully it picked up after that and I was intrigued to see where this went. This book felt very fanfiction-esque to me, so while it was a fun ride, I could not take it that seriously. I will say it left me with a smile on my face though. The cuteness factor definitely brought this up a bit for me.
Read this if you are looking for a quick, fun read centered around baseball. Also, there’s a good amount of spice
