I teared up while finishing this, it was that good.
This book was an experience. I expected it to be what a lot of sports romances are for me, which is kind of over the top, dramatic and a bit unrealistic (which if done well can be a great time).
But this book wasn’t that at all.
It was really quiet and soft and gentle but also heavy at times. And it still worked so very well!
The writing was phenomenal, so immersive, I felt like I was right there with them in New York City in 1960. The characters felt authentic and nuanced, and their relationship was beautifully developed. The way they slowly fell in love with each other.. <3
This is a perfect slow burn in every way, but maybe keep that in mind, because someone who isn’t into that might get a bit bored here.
What's keeping me from giving this 5 stars is that the romance took somewhat of a backseat in the second half imo and I just wanted more of Eddie and Mark.
But that might just be me, and ultimately it was a wonderful story.
