Too much technical baseball stuff for me, but can’t fault it because that’s what it says on the tin. Pleasantly surprised with good mental health and trans rep; the intimacy and vanilla sex were lovely and hot and realistic (as a transmasc reader). Sometimes feels like a checklist of diverse rep across all the side characters, but maybe that’s just realistic and I overall don’t think I mind it. Loved Luis’ character especially. Overall, I thought it was cute and funny and fine, a queer romance that’s accessible for mainstream.
