Challenging The Shortstop by Laura John

4.5

"Obviously, Finn isn’t used to genuine compliments, and I plan on changing that. I want him to know how special and amazing he is. If I have to tell him a million times a day, I will." - Monster

"I want all of our firsts to be because he wants them, not just because he’s trying to make me happy." - Finn

I really loved this book, their relationship felt easy, they had a lot of respect for each other and they were very open from the start.

Finn was 'adopted' into Monsters family right away. They were accepting and I'm glad that Finn has more people that care about him now. His grandfather is really an amazing person that made him feel seen and happy that he could be himself. Monster talked about his feelings and that he doesn't really know where he falls on the ace spectrum, he tells Finn that from the start.

I received an ARC copy of this book, this is the first book that I read by this author and I definitely want to read more books by her. I really loved how the characters and feelings were written.
