Book Blurb:
Victoria Hudson is a seventeen-year-old with a passion for baseball. When her grandmother buys a new house in the city, Vic discovers a way to play the game for the first time since getting kicked out of little league. She just has to move in with her hippie grandmother and make sure her father, a U.S. Senator and prospective Presidential candidate, doesn’t find out what she’s up to over the summer break.
After proving her abilities on the field, she catches the attention of Daniel Cho, the team’s catcher. Everything seems to be falling apart, and yet falling into place. Vic settles into a life she’s always wanted, that of a normal teenage girl. But Victoria Hudson is anything but normal. Once the press learns that the potential First Daughter is crossing the gender line to play baseball, Vic is thrust back into the spotlight and making headlines. The life she tries so hard to get away from simply won’t leave her alone. (from Goodreads)
Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!
I really enjoyed this book. It had a nice, easy-going writing style, the plot progression was very well written (and at times unpredictable, which can be unusual for a romance, seeing as most of them follow the same formula), and you could really feel the emotions of the characters, especially sadness/anger. There was a little more swearing in the book than I would've liked, so I had to give it a 3.5, but, otherwise, I'd give it a solid 4!
Overall, this was a great book (aside from the swearing), I really liked it! :)
Things I Loved:
-The easy-going writing
-Plot progression
-Unpredictability
Things I Didn't Love:
-I felt like there was a bit too much swearing
In Conclusion:
Other than the swearing, this was a great book, so if you're looking for a sport-themed romance, check this one out!
