Heart of the Game

I wanted to give this book more than I am, but one of the characters in it just doesn't sit well with me. Molly is supposed to be this wonderful single mom who does everything for her kids. The problem is she has put up so many fences due to her past relationship that she can't let anyone in. After a while, this really started to grate on me. She has this wonderful woman in front of her that loves her kids, but she is so afraid of getting hurt. She has unrealistic expectations of Duke. She basically wants Duke to choose between her and baseball, which is her job which she has worked hard to get. I just found myself disliking Molly so much and feeling like she doesn't deserve Duke.
