Mabel Polanco's Reviews > The Art of Catching Feelings

This book had me from the first page.

Let me be so clear, I HATE the miscommunication trope, and this wasn't technically that, but it was. HOWEVER, it was done so well.

I kept thinking, how are we going to get out of this one? but Alicia Thompson, GIRRRRRL, you did it. YOU DID ITTTTT.

So we follow our girl Daphne, who is going through a divorce. Her personality is honestly adorable, she loves books, she's sarcastic yet corny, and has so many connections to books and music she loves.

Chris, (another book boyfriend to add to my collection) is a beautiful baseball player who is going through so real things in his life, making it hard for him to focus on the game.

And as a baseball gal in my youth, this book HIT it out of the park.

Daphne gets drunky and sloppy and screams some things during a game when Chris messes up and he ends up crying after (the real things I mentioned he is going through). She gets televised and broadcasted and it doesnt go well for her but she mostly cares that she hurt his feelings so she DMs him and they end up exchanging even more until Daphne realises she never apologised, so he doesn't know who she is!?!?!

Anyway there are so many more things that happen and choices that needed to be made.

I was loving the love, the baseball, the chemistry, the confusion honestly, and overall i HAD A BALLLLLL with this book (the puns will go on forever)

thank you Netgalley and Berkley publishing group for the ARC, all thoughts, opinions and enthusiasm are authentically mine always.
