I liked this book but wasn’t a fan of some of the topics in this book, it was a decent read. This is my first time reading an AT book, so I plan to read another to get my true feeling about this author.

There was baseball and a serial killer. Other than that, it was just ok. I think the book is closer to YA than I anticipated. The main character was just too young for me to get into it.

Reread 2023:
Everytime I read Moonshot, I try to determine why I'm so moved by it. Why it leaves me with a book hangover every time.
I think it's because of how it didn't take Chase long to fall for Ty when they met. How, when he fell, he fell so damn hard. How he was so sure that one day he's gonna marry her. How he was so desperate for her when he came back to New York. How he couldn't bear to touch another woman who wasn't her while they were separated.
This is a soulmate kind of love and the author showed that beautifully through the pages. The suspense just added to the overall impact of it. The twist that I didn't see coming.
This is forever going to be part of my all time favorites. I can't tell how many times I've read it and I totally recommend it to people who like angst, suspense, and MCs who aren't perfect and make terrible mistakes.
Reread 2021:
Still love Chase and Ty. Super.
Original Review:
As always, A. Torre never fails to amaze with her plots and writing style. This book hooked me from the Prologue. Loved it!

the book started out strong. i dong necessarily approve of the 5 year age gap when shes 17 about to turn 18, but i tried to look past that. i definitely didnt like that their whole fight was over her not being a virgin especially when it happened before they were together. what i definitely couldnt look past was all the cheating.
ty and chase met when she was 17 and he was 23 and ended up falling for each other. but then they have a fight, he gets traded and doesnt say goodbye,she finds out shes pregnant with another mans baby and marries him 4 years later chase gets traded back after a series of murders that makes everyone think its because the team havent won the world series. ty is married, but still in love with chase and chase is a shell of a man still in love with ty.
and what happens the first time theyre alone together? they have an affair. and she swears it wont happen again, yet seeks him out again and again and again. and despite her admitting to herself its wrong to do to her husband, they continue to justify it every single time.
maybe i was naive to think that when they were reunited, it would be after she left her husband and pursued a relationship with her long lost love, not that she would sleep with a man she knew for a couple of months at 18 and went home to sleep with her husband of 4 years.
aside from the cheating, there were a couple of plot holes that made it hard to “enjoy” the book. her dad was adamant she stay away from chase when she was younger at the beginning and that was a huge reason they couldnt be public, yet he never truly did anything to back that up.
the whole reveal that the reason the reporter was killing the girls ty’s husband had affairs with being that HE was in love with him and wanted ty to have the perfect marriage seems like a second thought thrown in just because and added absolutely nothing

This was like reading two different books. The beginning (the past) was okay. Both the H and h were well developed and their story was somewhat interesting. The second half (the present) was a catastrophe. The H was a shell of his previous self and the h was a horrible person.
It had too many of my least favorite tropes.
