Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Baseball was everything to Josie until the day her father left, taking her love for the game with him. After being dragged to her school’s baseball game Josie can’t sit and listen to the poor commentating and after barging her way in finds herself calling the rest of the game beside Garrett Reeves, a side-lined player and embodiment of everything Josie has learned to hate about baseball.
When Garrett convinces Josie to be his partner in commentating it isn’t long before sparks fly between the two and Josie soon finds herself realising that they’re good together, in and out of the commentating box.
Garrett wants back on the pitch and will do anything he can to be back in the game no matter what the cost while Josie is struggling with her re-found love for the game and her feelings for Garrett. She knows that baseball is his one true passion and with a new shot at his dreams Josie is torn between following her heart or her head.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were super relatable and honestly, I felt myself connecting with both Garrett and Josie. Josie is such a strong character who puts her own happiness on the back burner in order to help others, especially her mother and Garrett. Garrett fights for what he loves and will not let anything stand in his way. Although his future is so uncertain, he’s still positive and incredibly motivated.
This book isn’t your normal YA story. This story is true to life showing that things don’t always fall into place, there isn’t always going to be a happy ending but if you continue to fight for what you love and believe in then anything is possible.
I really liked the author’s writing style and will be reading more of her work in the future! I was hooked from the beginning and found myself unable to put it down until it was over and then I just wanted more.
If you’re after a cute, fluffy read this summer then I really do recommend Announcing Trouble!
Rating: 4/5 stars
