So here's the honest truth, perhaps to the disappoint of baseball-fan Jennifer Smith, I don't watch baseball. At all. Honestly, I don't watch sports at all. Besides the Olympics. But that's different. Despite this fact though, I loved the novel. I loved the characters, and practically fell in love with Nick myself. As for Ryan, well, though I'm not a baseball fan like her, or have suffered the loss of my father, I found myself relating to her in other ways. Those feelings when friends turn their back on you. Those feelings of feeling like you don't belong. Those conflicted feelings regarding doubts and belief. The story and plot was emotional and moving. It was an amazing and inspirational novel about believing despite everything that might contradict you.
