Enjoyed!!!

I like this Enbook sweet and simple. I loved the chemistry between Noah and Gefferi. I always loved the relationship her and her father had.

Consider me changed!

Loved it!
Idk anything about baseball and it was good not to have to know anything technical to enjoy the story.
I love the competition elements and the heroine's easy confidence.
Our guy could get boo'd up or whatever.

Read this for the Sports Romance September Storygraph challenge and also because I wanted to check out more books by Nicole Falls, so it was a win-win.

This was really cute, with some funny moments and no third act breakup, WE CHEER!!!! I was scared there would be something, but was pleasantly surprised when there was no conflict which ultimately made me enjoy it more. Sometimes you just need an angst free read.

I'm looking forward to reading the other two books in the series too, they follow Geffri's friends, but can be read as standalones.

This was such a cute, quick and fun book to read. I follow a fellow book lover on ig and she makes these posts where she finds celebrities or people who "look" like the characters, kind of giving a face to the fiction. And fo this book, she posted Kylie Bunbury as Geffri. Kylie plays Ginny Baker in a show Fox stupidy cancelled called "Pitch" where she is the first female pitcher in to play in the MLB.

I LOVED that show...so when I saw that post, even though I'd seen this book floating around previously, I immediately wanted to read it because anything that could give me a similar feeling to that show was going to be a win for me.

And I wasn't disappointed. The Change Up, while a very short story, was utterly entertaining. I loved everything about Geffri. How rich her relationship was her father was. The interactions between Geffri and her friends. Their relationship felt so authentic and full. Its so rare to get a book where the female lead has such a great relationship with not only one other female character but two.

Most of all though, I loved her interactions with Noah. I loved their negging of eachother. I loved their competitiveness, the witty banter, the flirting, the support, everything.

This was just a really fun book to read.

Really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the baseball theme/back drop. The romance was great. Noah and Gef were cute together. Tons of laughs.

This was easily the best book I read during a Black romance readathon! Geffri is such a mature and grounded character and we get to see her absolutely killing it in her dream career. Wish the book had tighter proofreading but the writing itself is really strong. (And that cover though.)
