The Prospects by KT Hoffman
4.0
slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This book was adorable. I don't know anything about baseball so whilst I had no idea what was happening with the game I still enjoyed being along for the ride. Gene and Luis are so freaking cute together and I loved seeing the progression from rivals to friends to lovers. They have fantastic banter and there is so much queer joy. The representation is done beautifully with a range of diverse characters. There are so many lovable characters I can't pick a favourite. Vince and Gene's friendship was at the top though. I thought the ADHD and anxiety representation was also done extremely well. Seeing how anxiety affects Luis was heartbreaking. I loved that both Gene and Luis felt very human. They both had their flaws but we get to see them grow. This book will make you feel all the emotions. 

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley
