Okay it was SO cute & I was smiling like a dang fool through a lot of it but I think I'm lowkey such a romance hater overall lmao I have to be very specifically in the ~mood~ to read romance & I *was* when I first started the book, but it took me a while to get through thanks to my varied disability issues (exhaustion + pain, mainly) so by the 70% point I was kind of like, pushing myself through to the ending bc the 'mood' had passed ππ
Still really liked it, though! Most of the baseball stuff flew right over my head cause I'm not really a baseball girlie, but it wasn't really over the top and was still enjoyable for someone who doesn't know anything about sports.
It had pretty good ADHD/mental health rep, fun friendships, realistic conflict between characters, cute gays doin cute gay things & plenty of Trans joy ofc
(Was also a tad spicier than I was expecting lol not a bad thing, it just surprised me) π₯΄
One thing that was kind of odd to me (and I'm just nitpicking here) was how dodger was just casually allowed to go everywhere with Luis. Only mentioning this because he is described as his emotional support dog - which is, legally speaking, different than a service dog.

Decided to DNF at 46%
I'm just completely uninterested.
The MC is annoying, and the writing is driving me insane tbh π«
I don't think I would've made it this far into the book if I'd been reading it vs listening to the audio book [the narrator is great].
7 hours left in the audio book and I just can't listen to it anymore sorry π
