From the author of Some Girls Do comes another heartfelt YA sapphic romance—starring a baseball pitcher and a student umpire who are definitely not supposed to fall for one another. June is the star pitcher of her elite club baseball team—with an ego to match—and she's a shoo-in to be recruited at the college level, like her parents have always envisioned. That is, if she can play through an overuse injury that has recently gone from bad to worse. Ivy isn't just reffing to pay off her athletic fees or make some extra cash on the side. She wants to someday officiate at the professional level, even if her parents would rather she go to college instead. The first time they cross paths, Ivy throws June out of a game for grandstanding. Still, they quickly grow from enemies to begrudging friends . . . and then something more. But the rules state that players and umpires are prohibited from dating. As June's shoulder worsens, and a rival discovers the girls' secret and threatens to expose them, everything the two have worked so hard for is at risk. Now both must follow their dreams . . . or follow their hearts?

I was so stoked to get this arc from NetGalley, I immediately bumped it up to the top of my tbr. I am a huge Jennifer Dugan fan, especially her YA books. This one really hit in all the ways I expected and I flew through it. I loved the premise (nice to see more sapphic sports romances) and I loved Ivy and June -- I just wish there was more character development throughout the book. Both of the MCs went through so much in their young lives and I was left wanting more from both of them. Would I recommend this? 100% yes, can't wait for more Jennifer Dugan! 3.75 stars!!
