The summer of '91!!! This book brought back so many found memories of the early nineties! Baseball, grunge music, mixed tapes, and summer love all in one book. Add in the twist of secrets and an unexpected turns and you have this amazing book.

Cruz is the "All American" baseball pitcher who falls for the Sweet Southern Belle, who at the age of sixteen became his step sister when their parents got married.

Their love story is wrought with love, pain, heartache, sacrifices, and eventually acceptance. And in true D.M. fashion she throws a few curve balls in there that I wasn't expecting and knocked this book out of the park!!

Ok, enough of the baseball references since technically that's only a underlying topic in the book with Cruz and his three baseball teammates return to Cherry Cove to relax for the summer. But this book is full of spice and angst between Cruz and Ellie and lets not forget the underlying tension between their best friends!

This book will leave you feeling nostalgic, in all your feels, and on the edge of your seat trying to figure out the breadcrumbs and how they come together, and it's definitely not what I thought!! Definitely recommend this book!!2024-arc5 s Krystle Rouse112 102


This book is fire and I consumed every bit of that inferno. This book is fun, exciting, and has a Wicked curve ball. Danielle puts the readers in such a nostalgic society of 1991 in a southern society and everything/ everyone has their own secret with of course Baseball. I absolutely love her writing and how she immerses you into the world. Check triggers warnings please! Comes out March 27th on KU!
