It’s a decent book, however I was not a fan of the ending. Too abrupt and no closure.

I suppose a book around baseball doesn’t need to be fun…but it seemed like this one would be and then it absolutely wasn’t. (Not that it ended up needing baseball to tell its story much either.) So. That was a disappointment. Pacing and character development and threading all the pieces together just seemed off. And the ending was finally feeling like the threading would pay off…and then it abruptly cut off without letting you enjoy that.
One star because I did finish it, but I can’t recommend it.
