About this listen
INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
A professional baseball player and his heckler prove that true love is worth going to bat for in the next swoony romance by USA Today bestselling author Alicia Thompson.
Daphne Brink doesn’t follow baseball, but watching “America’s Snoozefest” certainly beats sitting at home in the days after she signs her divorce papers. After one too many ballpark beers, she heckles Carolina Battery player Chris Kepler, who quickly proves there might actually be a little crying in baseball. Horrified, Daphne reaches out to Chris on social media to apologize . . . but forgets to identify herself as his heckler in her message.
Chris doesn’t usually respond to random fans on social media, but he’s grieving and fragile after an emotionally turbulent few months. When a DM from “Duckie” catches his eye, he impulsively messages back. Duckie is sweet, funny, and seems to understand him in a way no one else does.
Daphne isn’t sure how much longer she can keep lying to Chris, especially as she starts working with the team in real life and their feelings for each other deepen. When he finds out the truth, will it be three strikes, she’s out?

Story
When professional—and self-taught—violinist Gwen Jackson plays, she disappears into the peaks and valleys of each song, a quiet passion that never quite explodes into pure emotion. Xander Thorne is the exact opposite. A cellist and a rock star, he’s all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius...and an attitude that borders on jerkitude.

Time rewinds at the video store—the clerk is always hot and grumpy, and kindly retiree Mr. Hoffman rents the same thing every week. Audrey hangs around for both these reasons. But when her fellow film buff fails to appear, she goes to his house over the protests of her flannelly video store crush, who knows more than he lets on. It’s just like a movie.

Sawyer Greene knows romance. She’s a bestselling author of the genre—or she was, until her ex left her with nothing but writer’s block and a broken heart. But when she gets stuck in the elevator with a handsome stranger, she sees their meet cute for what it is: just a one-night stand. It might have worked, too, if they could stop running into each other. Actor Mason West sees Sawyer’s reappearance in his life as a sign. Obviously, they’re meant to cure each other. Him of the hopeless romanticism that only ends in heartbreak—and tabloid trainwrecks—and Sawyer of her writer’s block.

Georgia Woodward lives by her lists, none more so than the one about her ex, Eli Mora. It’s full of the ironclad dos and don’ts they’ve been following since she returned to the Bay Area after their cataclysmic breakup five years ago. With the wedding of their mutual best friend, Adam, looming, and them about to step into their roles as best woman and man, Georgia’s never needed it more. She refuses to threaten their tight-knit friend group with her messy—and still very present—feelings. The rules on that list will keep her cool, calm, and compartmentalized.

She's learned to love her small world, with the misfit animals on her hobby farm, and her friendships with the town’s inhabitants. But when her 5-year relationship ends and her ex, town-golden-boy Ian, suddenly gets engaged, Sage needs a win—something that will convince everyone to stop pitying her all the time, and to put Ian in his place. The Festival of Spunes, the town’s annual summer competition, would be the perfect opportunity. She just needs a partner.

Ember Lee Cardinal has not always been a liar—well, not for anything that counted at least. But her job search is not going well and when her resumé is rejected for the thirty-seventh time, she takes matters into her own hands. She gets “creative” listing her qualifications and answers the ethnicity question on applications with a lie—a half-lie, technically. No one wanted Native American Ember, but white Ember has just landed her dream accounting job on Park Avenue (Oklahoma City, that is).

Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century.

Critic reviews
One of Amazon's Best Romances of June!
“The Art of Catching Feelings is great for those wanting a sports romance, those who love baseball, or if you love a meet-disaster which is truly what these two have...The Art of Catching Feelings is such an incredible romance and one I'm still thinking about even after finishing. I truly can't wait to see what Alicia Thompson does next.”—Cultress
"Alicia Thompson hits a home run with The Art of Catching Feelings, a sports romance with depth, secrets, and the right amount of spice...The Art of Catching Feelings will win over readers who love a messy romance with a hint of angst, whether or not they enjoy baseball. Fans of Emily Henry's Book Lovers and Lyssa Kay Adams's The Bromance Book Club should add this to their lineup."—Shelf Awareness
"A soft and sexy riff on You've Got Mail, The Art of Catching Feelings delivers a beautifully layered look at how intimacy blooms on and offline. I savored the bittersweetness of Alicia Thompson's expertly deployed angst. Whether or not you're a baseball fan, you'll find yourself rooting for Daphne and Chris from the moment of their one-of-a-kind meet-cute."—Rosie Danan, USA Today bestselling author of Do Your Worst

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Lauren Fox is the bookkeeper for Cold World, a tourist destination that's always a winter wonderland despite being located in humid Orlando, Florida. Sure, it’s ranked way below any of the trademarked amusement parks and maybe foot traffic could be better. But it’s a fun place to work, even if “fun” isn’t exactly Lauren’s middle name.

A cellist and a rock star, he’s all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius...and an attitude that borders on jerkitude.

📖: The Art of Catching Feelings by Alicia Thompson
Tropes/highlights:

* Open door spice 🔥
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️
🎧Audible Narrator: Kristen Sieh - really liked this performance!
⚠️Trigger Warning: Mention of suicide (side character, off page)
* Summary:
After signing her divorce papers, Daphne decides to drink her problems away at a baseball game. In her drunken haze, she heckles a home-team player, Chris, leading to him surprisingly crying at bat. After the game, she feels so terrible that she reaches out to him via Instagram to apologize, and only after they exchange multiple messages does she realize she never identified herself as his heckler. Too late to out herself now, she decides to keep her secret and continue their online relationship. Things only get more complicated when Daphne starts working for the baseball team, and Chris has no idea the woman he’s been texting is also his heckler, and the new sideline reporter on the field.
* My thoughts:
This book was so sweet!! This gave me major “You’ve Got Mail” vibes (for my fellow Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks fans.) It is a lighthearted swoony sports romance that also touches on more serious topics like mental health and suicide of a loved one. The author does such a good job getting you emotionally invested in the story very early on. Even though Daphne was lying and keeping her identity a secret, her inner turmoil was very relatable and helped ease some of my frustrations at her deception. Her emotional connection to Chris felt very genuine, and their physical chemistry was definitely *chef’s kiss*🔥 The only reason this wasn’t a five star read for me was how long Daphne kept the lie going. At a certain point I was yelling “JUST TELL HIM ALREADY!!” in my own head lol. You KNOW it’s going to blow up in Daphne’s face and it’s hard to wait for that ball to drop. Overall it was a very sweet and funny read and I definitely enjoyed it!
