I really liked certain things about this book, and there was something I loved about it. I loved that our ball player, mr cocky, wasn't 100% wholely perfect. I love the "imperfections" CD gave them. And I put that in quotes because I don't think they really were, but in the eyes of society they probably are. . but I digress on that. It still was a huge part of what made me love him. I also really really loved how she incorporates in the superstitions that ball players feel the need to follow and how greatly it really can affect their headspace before a game.
I also liked how she pushed him for more not only for herself , but also for himself and what he deserves. I did find I got nervous with the games and travel. I can't handle cheating so I was really scared of where CD was gonna go with that.
But I did also love the Jewish father and his random terms Incorporated in. It was always the perfect taste of humor at just the right moment.
The only thing I will say is that I found some internal rants hard to understand. It may be because this wasn't fully edited yet, so what appeared as a really long unedited run on sentence really isn't. But it happened more than once and I would have to stop and try to break down what the paragraph was really saying. I'm sorry that takes my head out of the game and I hate that. It was the only reason I had to knock my rating down.
And it really shouldn't surprise you when I say this was hot hot hot. I mean this is CD Reiss were talking about here . she could master hot with her eyes closed.
