Unwritten Rules
by KD Casey
I know almost nothing about baseball, but I am a total ace when it comes to romance, so let me tell you that this one hits it right out of the park in all the important points. It's romantic above all, with the prerequisite sad points and some phenomenal character development. And it's well-written enough that even the parts that go deep into actual baseball facts and actions are interesting and easy to understand for someone who barely even knows what baseball is.
I really liked the character of Zach Glasser in all his world-weary veteran player glory. He hides and buries the most important part of himself to play the sport he loves, but he puts himself out there to help fellow players play their best and find their own happiness. And then there's Eugenio Morales, the rookie who comes into his life and makes him realize that it's possible to be happy and that waiting for 'later' might not be the only option he has.
A big part of the book is spent wanting to hit Zack over the head for not fighting for what makes him happy, but I think it actually shows a very realistic view of the difficult choices people have to make around coming out to family, friends, and their work.
Zack and Eugenio are such a cute couple that I really hope we get some kind of follow-up novella or even a whole book of them being happy together.
Very happy thanks to NetGalley and Carina Press for the early read!
