Perfect book is perfect. What can I say? I loved this book. I loved the MCs. I loved the side characters. I loved the baseball. I loved the writing style. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It's an absolute joy to read and I'll be highly recommending it to everyone. It even has a recipe at the end from one character and a running playlist from another character!
One thing I do want to mention, just because it zoned right in on my anxiety triggers, is that a character describes an incident where a panic attack leads to them fainting while driving. This is, obviously, a thing that can happen. However, it's really rare and it's kind of like the number one thing people who have driving anxiety often fear is going to happen and speaking from experience, I know that anxiety attacks often make you feel like you're going to faint, even when you aren't, and learning to kind of push through those feelings and keep driving is the way to combat that anxiety, so imagining this situation and its repercussions was rough.
But truly, this book is just so wonderful. You want this book in your life. Highly super recommend.
