Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally

4.0

I was very excited to read this book and I loved it and didn't like it at the same time. I loved it because of the characters and growth throughout the book. I enjoyed how Parker was trying to get out of her comfort zone that she instilled when her mom left and got back into playing ball, even if it was just managing. Her friendship with Drew and later relationship with Will were so adorable and felt so real, you couldn't help but love them both. I also enjoyed the family dynamic she had with her dad, brother, and mom. I felt that those relationships were just as important, if not more, than the friendships and romances. The issue I had with the book was her relationship with Brian. I found it very cringey that her and the baseball coach who was six years older than her were messing around because it was disgusting. I honestly felt bad for her because she was so desperate but then got taken advantage of.
