this was cute.
i liked mostly the realism as to how non-linear a baseball player’s journey is—even a successful one.
my biggest gripes with this book are ultimately small and have more to do with my own internalized problems and preferences and i can admit that and also accept that sharing them wouldn’t be productive from a critique standpoint.
i liked the side characters (at least, those who get any meaningful time on page. i have zero connection to the kyles or whoever ross and the other guy are, as name mentions are basically the extent of their inclusion in this novel) and VINCE was especially powerful especially when illustrating the difficulties a professional sports career can pose toward someone who appears to meet society’s standards.
the enemies/rivals-to-lovers thing that this book attempted in the first portion was pretty half baked and dissolved very quickly, but i enjoyed gene and luis’ relationship outside of that. i would have LOVED some more time spent with gene’s family to explore their dynamic.
i still hate the cover though sorry
