Conviction by Kelly Loy Gilbert

3.0

The dad was a well written portrayal of an abusive parent and the manipulative tactics of abusers but the main character has no development after leaning about his father’s pattern of behavior. He just keeps trucking along as if he didn’t find out that his dad is a literal psycho. I don’t know anything about baseball and basically skimmed through those parts so I didn’t get all the metaphors Gilbert tried to use. The romance subplot also felt extremely unnecessary.
