I love ladies playing baseball (especially sapphic ladies) so I was instantly excited when I saw this cover of two women kissing with a baseball on the cover. After I found out that it was actually softball, I was still excited! But this one just didn't work for me.
This college-aged, single 1st person present POV sapphic romance follows Annie as her crush, Eve - the star softball player and serial hook-up - asks her out. But that doesn't even feel like an honest description of what this book is "about." I'm not really sure what this book is "about." One of my major issues with this book is that it's definitely not about the central love story between Annie and Eve. The two have almost no chemistry and there isn't much of a story of how they get together/stay together. I didn't feel any emotion getting to or arriving at the HFN. Sometimes in romance we talk about books where there's not plot and nothing happens. In this book, really nothing happens. And it's too short for any of the things that do happen to be explained in any depth or detail.
However, I did find the exploration of Annie's anxiety interesting. If you like college romances, this one might be more your speed.
