Certain comments were made from Sean about his family dynamics, but the readers never seen the family together. His family was non-existent throughout the book except for his sister. I did not buy that Mason was interested in Sean the entire time, but his actions showed he was clueless when it came to Sean’s attraction to him, if that makes sense. I mean that the attraction to men never came up in all the years of friendship.

I did not see the point of him stating that, and then being calm about Sean’s feelings. I do have a problem with him being “bisexual” for years but being scared to tell Sean. Mason surprised me by how easy it seemed he transitioned. I did not get these reservations because in the beginning this was his dream, to have the love of your friend and your career. I felt like Sean should have been happier because he got everything he wanted but it felt like self sabotage. Being in love with your best friend for years is hard when you have to be around that person, especially someone as likable as Mason.

I thought Sean expressing his love in the beginning in his thoughts were funny. I liked the beginning a lot as I really enjoy the friends to lovers trope. Got excited since it was based in Chicago half of the time. I went into the book with no expectations or judgments just kindly reading along. Wild Pitch by Sloan Johnson was my second book by this author and first m/m read from her. When Mason admits that he’s always known he’s bisexual but has never allowed himself to pursue a relationship with a man, will Sean be able to put aside his reservations about starting a relationship with the friend he’d always assumed was straight? And more importantly, will they be able to find a way to stay together when their careers keep them apart more than they can be together Until now.įor seven years, Sean lived with the fact that he loved a man who would never reciprocate. Unfortunately, there’s always been one secret Mason never felt he could share with Sean. The two forged a friendship which continued as both of them moved through the ranks of the farm system and into the majors. Sean showed rookie short stop Mason Atley the ropes, both on the field and off. The problem is, he never counted on Mason Atley.


The day he acknowledged to himself that he was gay was also the day he vowed to stay in the closet in order to chase his dreams. There’s never been any question in Sean Tucker’s mind that he’d do whatever it took to make it to the major leagues and be one of the best pitchers of his time.
