This was such a fun romp into baseball romance! 

The story is told entirely through Gene’s perspective, which isn’t something I see all too often in the world of sports romances but I didn’t mind. Gene was an interesting character and his thoughts did keep me invested. I would have loved to get a glimpse into Luis and his inner dialogue but the way in which Gene experiences him is still nice and leaves his character feeling complete even if not as complex as Gene

Gene and Luis as a duo were cute - I don’t really have much more to say about them. Sometimes you read a romance and the two leads just capture your heart with how real or how sad or how inevitable their romance is and, well, I just didn’t feel that with these two. - part of that could be the wall between us as the reader and Luis as we lacked his own perspective, but I have seen single POV done wonderfully where we can still get insight into the other lead - but I think it might just be the writing style. It was a little flat, which is fine for what this book is, but I’d have loved to see a little more depth. 

Being KT Hoffman’s debut novel I am definitely interested in following this author and seeing what they put out in the future.
