Synopsis

A Romeo & Juliet-inspired small-town baseball romance where the son and daughter of two rival families must decide if their love is worth the risk.

High school junior Eliza Crowley is known as the Princess of Fairfield, a farm town in North Carolina that loves two things—tradition and baseball. Although Eliza loves “the game,” her life goal is to become a lighting designer on Broadway. Shaking off her reputation as the rich girl and focusing on her town's community theater production are what she’s set her sights on this summer, and nothing will stand in her way. That is until Reed Fulton, the grandson of a struggling Fairfield farmer, and ace pitcher of the Fulton Hawks, returns to town.

Reed dreams of putting the catastrophe of last season behind him and leading the Hawks to a championship victory against the Crowley Cardinals. But when his childhood friend turned stranger, Eliza, strolls back into his life, she makes his heart accelerate quicker than his fastball, and he’s not sure he can stay away from the girl he’s supposed to despise.

Small-town summers and baseball draw Reed and Eliza together, even though the Crowleys and the Fultons are determined to run each other out of town. When the families make a deal to settle their thirty-year-long dispute once and for all, Eliza and Reed are stuck in the middle during the most important summer of their lives.

Heartwarming, captivating, and full of emotion, Meet Me Under the Lights is a pitch-perfect romance that will have readers hooked right off the bat.

Thank you so much Penguin Teen, NetGalley, & Cassie for an early e-copy of Meet Me Under The Lights. It feels so special and made me so giddy to finally meet Reed & Eliza after all of these years. Reading this book felt less like a book, but more like a screenplay. It played in my head like one of t......more

Goodreads review by Amara on May 05, 2026

This book was so cute! Super easy to read with a witty writing style. It was super fast paced and this is my first baseball romance which made me super excited to read it because I love baseball. It did fall a little flat for me though. It just felt kind of basic, and though it made sense for the sto......more

Goodreads review by Piper on April 04, 2026

Of course I had to read this book with baseball starting (aka the best sport). It wasn’t amazing but also wasn’t awful I guess. Baseball + theatre both things I love, so that was a plus. I really like the characters too. However, I didn’t really feel the chemistry. They had cute moments but it didn’......more
