Review

I’m saddened to say that I wasn’t a fan of PITCHING MY HEART. I just couldn’t get into it no matter how hard I tried or how many times I put it down thinking that maybe it was me and I just wasn’t in the mood. After more than a week of trying and skipping large chunks just to get to the end, I have to accept that I don’t think I was the problem.

I felt like everything was too over-the-top. The characters were really rude, mean, bitchy, crazy and childish. These are people who are in their mid-twenties but are instead acting like they’re in high school. The women seem to enjoy getting into fights and are often threatening physical violence. I think this was meant to be funny, but it fell flat for me. There’s a lot of drama revolving around Weston’s ex-girlfriend, as well as a lot of pushing and pulling between Weston and Katryn. The sex scenes are over so quickly that you’ll miss them if you blink⎯either expand them or get rid of them entirely. I did like one part of the story, and that was when Weston stepped up and took responsibility for something that happened in his past.
