2.0

"Moonshot" by Alessandra Torre attempts to blend baseball romance with a mystery featuring a serial killer, but unfortunately falls short. The story revolves around Ty Rollins, a virginal, baseball-obsessed teenager, and Chase Stern, the epitome of a love 'em and leave 'em bad boy. The predictable on-again, off-again romance between Ty and Chase quickly becomes cringeworthy, with Chase's toxic masculinity and possessiveness overshadowing any genuine connection between the characters. As the plot unfolds, the inclusion of a serial killer subplot feels forced and fails to add any significant depth or intrigue to the narrative. The unmemorable ending further diminishes the overall impact of the story. "Moonshot" is disappointing with its lackluster execution, earning a mere two out of five stars.
