andrearbooks's review against another edition
3.0
I picked up this book long ago because it involved baseball. The reality is this story is so, so, SO much more. This is really a story about a family, specifically the sibling relationship between Abilene and Austin. It's about making someone else's unrealized dreams come true. It's about understanding the burdens we each bear. It's about that moment where we realize people are dealing with more than we knew. It's about trying to find truth, resilience and a way forward through it all. This is a read that is teeming with feels. Yes, there's baseball, too, but more than anything, it's about two siblings just trying to figure it all out.

What a wonderful, well-conceived, and heart-wrenching story. What a LOVE story. It's just beautiful .

A very open look at manic depression and its impact on a family in nowhere-ville Texas.
