Jupiter & Marnie
They are next door neighbors - him the popular third baseman and her the science nerd. They fall hard but he breaks her heart the day he gets drafted…..only to beg for it back 14 years later.

Wow, I love the name Jupiter and there story, his love for her. Ugh <3 the only thing I wish could have been better is more depth on their time away from each other and how it changed them, what new things they learned about each other and from each other. But si h a cute read otherwise

Wow this was laughably bad. I told myself to DNF so many times but, nevertheless I persevered. Jupiter is a walking red flag and if anyone roots for him…I don’t even have the words. Marnie’s made up job was so incredibly dumb, my mind was continuously blown. Why couldn’t she just be on the analytics team instead of being the director of “baseball science” LMAO. Also, what’s up with all the typos? Was this a first draft that saw no developmental edits? There’s so much more I could say but TLDR: give this a miss

insanely similar to the life i lived in the last year. dated a third baseman who wore the number 5 and broke up with me and left me crying on a porch. marnie is the first name on my baby names list which i had shared with this ex boyfriend. scary similarities. i can’t even describe.

This was a great read! I really liked the flashback scenes as I felt it really showed you how Marnie and Jupiter's relationship originally unfolded and brought you on the emotional rollercoaster that ensued. I generally was not a fan of Jupe's manipulation of getting Marnie to New York and I don't think that it was realistic that she'd have left her job at NASA. I think we could've used a lot more groveling and actually proving to Marnie that he'd changed and grown. I also thought the use of his tattoos to demonstrate how he regretted his decisions was well done, as well as revealing that Marnie had done the same. A sweet second chance romance for sure!
