It's not often that books and sports come together at the same time for me. I happen to dearly love a good dose of both, and this book was the perfect solution. Baseball happens to provide the backdrop for this story, and I was a captive spectator through the whole thing. I cheered along with Duke as Morris continued to practice his pitching, and with Ned as he hoped to make a catch with Ellie Jane. Allison Pittman has created a masterpiece of a book with delightful characters and an enjoyable story that will definitely stick with you.
Good story with a sad ending:(. Very interesting characters, but sad.
This was an interesting read, particularly with it being written from the point of view of four different people. While it took me some time to get used to it, I was able to get to know each person better than I would have if the story was told differently. I did not like how the book ended but the story was well written.
