Verity  I typically don't read books that everyone is making a fuss about because I don't find the same fuss that everyone else does (once again, insert Crawdads)...  This book, good from page 1, is worth it..  It's worth the 2 days I had to wait from Amazon It was worth staying up till 1 am because I started it at 9pm and couldn't put it down.   You're going to need to find it and read it, and maybe read it again.  Lowen is a writer, who's struggling.  Her agent gets her a meeting but isn't sure if she will take the opportunity.

Ethan continually catches her staring at him. He finally gets the nerve to have the usher make her meet him after the game. They meet, she's very closed off, for good reason. They become friends, then they become more.  He does everything he can for her and her family.  #ThirdBase by #HeidiMcLaughlin #3437 #29chapters #257pages #August2021 #covidreading #279of250 #Book #23for21 #Series #TheBoysOfSummerSeries #Book1of4 #DaisyAndEthan #Baseball #ThatCover
