It is the chance that every kid who has played whiffle ball in the back yard dreams about: bottom of the ninth inning in game 7 of the World Series, your team trails by one run and the fate of the team rests on your shoulders as you come to the plate.
That chance came true for Jet Brine, the lead character in this terrific story by J.J. Herbert. Unfortunately for Jet, the title of the book describes what happened during that at-bat – he struck out on a called third strike – the backwards K. What

From the ashes we rise
Hey is an ex baseball player who is no stranger to failure. He pretty screws up everything good on his life and has perfected the art of being a loser. Then he meets Linda and she encourages him to become a better person, making this a classic rising from the ashes type of story. I don’t want to give too much away but I do want to say there’s a pretty graphic suicide scene that could be a pretty big trigger for some! Outside of that I found this book to be entertaining.i ha

The plot really takes off, and how it is all going to end is totally unpredictable - the urge to keep turning pages increases in line with the pressure on the characters. Within the first few chapters, I just knew I couldn't put it down until I had devoured it's every content. It has been a long time since I have been so gripped by a book.
It is wonderfully written, a real rollercoaster of emotions.
I particularly loved the contrast and metaphors between baseball and real life. The writer has been

I am not into baseball at all. This was ARC for me. The first chapter I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get into this book. I was surprised as I went into the second chapter that it was not just baseball but relationships and learning to pick yourself up and move on with life. Jet had a lot of hurt in his life and a lot of life lessons learned . It was a great read.
