ย An ode to both baseball and romance novels, KT Hoffman’s debut is funny, flirty, and brimming with joy. He details everything to perfection from the baseball diamond to the open-door scenes, in an illustrative and witty manner, yet still full of tenderness.
In conclusion, I enjoyed this novel and was emotionally invested in it from the beginning. However, despite the narration and writing quality, I got bored by the end. I still recommend Berry Pickers and look forward to reading her future novels.ย
