Entangled Teen will always have a special place in my heart. They introduced me to the works of Aden Polydoros. And I know I can always count on them to bring me a cute little story when I need a break from all the heaviness of the world. They always have such great books. I haven’t rated a book from them under two stars. I knew I was going to like this one. I’ve always enjoyed their books about sports.
Boy, this book was super cute. Alyssa and Tristan were a super cute couple. One of my favorite things about them was when they had a misunderstanding. After a day, they talked it out and all was forgiven. Sure, it’s totally unrealistic because we all know high schoolers can be super dramatic about small things. I know I was like that when I was in high school. Their relationship was just so adorable, I couldn’t get enough of it.
This book had a lot to do with baseball, which I admit I know absolutely nothing about. So when they talked about baseball and all the technical terms, I had no idea what was going on. I only played softball for about three weeks before I got hit with a softball in the ankle and decided that was enough. So that kind of took away from my enjoyment.
But overall, this was an adorably cute story. It is part of a series but it’s one of those stand-alone series that can be read out of order and you’d still know what they are talking about. Overall, a super adorable story and I can’t wait to check out the rest of the books as I did enjoy the side characters that were in this book.
