Eddie is a baseball who gets traded to the New York Robins and finds himself in the slumps of all slumps. Mark is a reporter who has spent the last year quietly mourning. Mark is sent to cover the story of Eddie and his season. They are two lonely souls who find new life with one another, but struggle with the privacy of their relationship. 

I loved these two. Mark is the epitome of a "black cat" character. He's a bit of a snob, very particular, but also can't help but fall for the sweet new baseball player. My heart hurt so much for Mark. From how he finds out about William's death to not being able to grieve properly and openly, it's a horrible thing that many people had to go through. He's in such a hard place, and Eddie is the breath of air he needs. Eddie is a complete sweetheart, while also being a bit of a hot head. I loved his character arc. He's a little naive, but when life challenged him he realized the important things and came to terms with a lot of things he avoided before. They couldn't be more of opposites, but are exactly what the other needs. 

I love the books I've read by Cat Sebastian. There's humor, emotions, and characters you can't help but to root for. The side characters are supportive and interesting on their own, and add some good perspective to the story. If I had to pick something I didn't care for, it just seemed like a lot of baseball which I don't particularly like and it had some slower parts. I loved these characters though, and I can't wait to read more of her works!
