This book is amazing, I've already added it to my physical book wishlist!
Sebastian's story is a beautiful narrative of love in a time of persecution, and queer joy and resilience. Nick and Andy are the friends-to-lovers we all want and I absolutely loved their story and characterizations. I also love the way bisexuality was handled in the book.
Sebastian paints a great picture of late 1950s New York, the changes going on from shifting societal attitudes to gentrification and development. There's enough historical accuracy for it to be realistic with enough wish fulfillment to make it a great HEA to escape into. Like Nick, I'm always on the search for beautiful queer stories with those sweet happy endings.
Featuring great ADHD and anxiety representation, awesome side characters, and an orange cat that lives up to the stereotype.
10/10 would recommend.

A lovely, baseball adjacent romance novel between two newspaper queers. While there are tense parts, Andy and Nick work to be together and have a satisfying happily ever after!
