Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC and opportunity to review this book.

I love reading Alicia Thompson’s romances and seeing each book get better than the last. I was weary of a sports romance and particularly a baseball romance because it’s just not my thing but she made me a convert!! Baseball was firmly at the center of this story and as someone who has never seen a single game, I still understood and enjoyed myself while watching Daphne and Chris’ story play out. As Nora Ephron’s #1 fan, I simply cannot NOT read any You’ve Got Mail variation out there. This one was perfectly sweet, endearing, and human. In order for a You’ve Got Mail misunderstanding to work, you have gottttt to care about and empathize with the deceiver. Daphne is such a sweetie (big lovable Tom Hanks energy) that you can’t help but preemptively forgive her for her sins. I personally have never been too crazy about Thompson’s MMCs but Chris Kepler had big Emily Henry MMC energy, which is the highest compliment I can give a man. Thank you to this book for making me kick my feet with glee and being the reason I’ll swipe right the next time I come across a minor league baseball player on a dating app just in case.
