Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Okay so yes this was a baseball romance but I kinda could've done with less baseball lol

Overall this was a great story. The relationship between the two MCs, between the one MC and his best friend, and the MCs' personal journeys. All worthwhile.

🎧 Single POV, single narrator.

🌶️ 4/5 for only a few scenes but it gets a bump up for depicting explicit gay trans sex because I rarely see that (this is at least partially my own fault in the books I pick but anyways it's underrepresented is my point)

🏳️‍🌈✊ The protagonist is a trans man (so is the author). His love interest is Latine. They

are both gay

. I don't have any lived experience as a trans person, a man, or a gay person. But from my perspective this story honored the characters' experiences and humanity by creating complex beings with multiple motivations who were very relatable. So it really worked IMHO.
