I was really keen to read this sapphic sports romance. I jumped at it seeing the softball cover. It's a college / YA book.
Its essentially a jock - nerd romance with Eve the softballer and Annie the computer geek. Annie has been pining over Eve in the stands at games, and can't quite believe it when Evie's computer goes on the fritz and she manages to fix it (a pretty easy fix). Eve subsequently asks her out on a date. The book is essentially about their attraction and romance.
The challenge for me was believing Eve and Annie had a romance as the chemistry seemed a little stilted. I didn't feel the romance was central to the book. I felt I didn't learn a great deal about Eve as a character and what made her tick, as the book was from Annie's point of view. It would have been nice to gain more from Eve's perspective. We learned more about Annie, particularly about her anxiety which I felt was well described and made Annie vulnerable, but also brave in the way she reacted to a couple of challenges in the book.
This was quite a brisk read however I would have loved more detail particularly in relation to Eve that I think would have benefitted the story.
