My Thoughts:
I would have rated this book possibly with five stars if I hadn't already felt like I've read this book before by another author recently.
While minor details are different from what I read before it just felt too similar to me to focus on what made this book and its characters different from the other book I read.
I still loved the friendships and the interactions and Hard Hitter was a great read that I'd recommend to anyone Hard Hitter was just too much like another book I've read recently for me to really enjoy it as much as it deserved.
