I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Marshall Elliot will impact the lives the athletes Matris and Mantle and vice versa. The plot is interesting and upon the reading the review I instantly thought of a movie-friendly story.

Sports-based stories are not quite to my interest, but The M&M Boys seems like much more than just a sports book! With themes of friendship, loyalty, and romance, this seems like an intriguing read for all to enjoy.

As a lover of historical fiction and a massive baseball fan, I’m really intrigued by the idea behind this book. I like the element of unlikely friendships being explored in this novel, as well as the trauma associated with abuse. Will definitely be reading this novel!

Baseball is an American passion, but I don't understand its mechanics. I'm not sure this book is for me, but the plot looks interesting. Will the two baseball greats help Marshall cope with his own struggles with the sport and his family?

The first thing that got my attention was the fact that the first chapter was really relatable and I was intrigued by the funny parts of the story. I loved the way the writer was able to make me visualise the characters of the book and I’m very sure whoever that’s going to read this will definitely enjoy it.

I have always loved baseball, so to read a historical fiction novel centered around some of the biggest players in history certainly has my attention. With this being set in the 1960s, it will be an interesting since I've never read a historical fiction novel set quite so close to the present day.

This is another novel on the values of friendship. The relationship between the trio, Marshall, Roger and Mickey would be an impactful friendship. I would love to read this book.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting novel about a young boy who is a fan of baseball but is having a hard time playing Little League. However, when two NY Yankees secretly move next door. Things might change for the better for him. It might be worth a second look. Congrats!

Tje book's strong point seems to be characterisation. The word's of Elliot's father seemed to have caused damage. I love the multiple themse it focuses on like friendship.

Friendship is a interesting thing that positively affect the people involved. I love the storyline, and I'd love to know the end of the relationship between Marshall and his father. Thanks for your honest review.

Marshall Elliot must be going through a lot as a little child. I wonder why a father will starve his child of attention, and the mom abuses the child? I look forward to reading this piece. Kudos.
