The queer joy in this book is absolutely palpable, as is a real love for baseball, which made it fun and delightful to read. I really cared about these characters and the sport they love because the author put so much into writing them with detail and care.
Four stars because, much like a baseball game, the middle dragged too much for my taste. Knocked it out of the park in the end though 🩷

hey hey! daniphantom here :)
reading superpower: at the library where I work I'm the queen of figuring out what book a patron is looking for when they say things like "I don't remember the title but it was blue"
favorite genre/trope: contemporary romance, fantasy, and historical fiction are my top three genres at the moment. I particularly love friends to lovers romances, fantasy heists, and touches of magical realism
chaotic book opinion: I DNF books so easily these days - life is too busy for books I'm not interested in! mama raised a quitter for sure lol
