This was sooooo much fun! If A League of Their Own and Sailor Moon combined to make a raunchy romcom, it would be this. 
 
The plot is silly, but that’s what makes it so enjoyable because I couldn’t get enough of the melodrama between Mickey and Astra. There’s also such a diverse cast of characters and hilarious interactions between them. Plus we all love a good found family! And the art? *chef’s kiss* It’s beautiful. 
 
Mickey and Astra can be unlikeable at some points in the story, but surprisingly, that’s what I liked most about them 😅 
 
I’ve already ordered Book 2 because I can’t wait to see what happens next.
