![]() ![]() He can’t play baseball, and he can’t tell his longtime crush, Sam, how he feels about her. Noah defines himself by what he can’t do. The book opens as narrator Noah and his best friend Walt (AKA “Swing”) have again failed to make their high school baseball team. Most of all, though, it’s about putting yourself out there and embracing life. However, Hess and Alexander also collaborated on the 2017 novel Solo about rock and roll, and it turns out that Swingis as much about swinging the beat as swinging the bat.
