"He can believe that the future they have is worth more than his fear and he can do what it takes to make that future as safe and happy as possible." 🥹
We Could Be So Good.... was literally SO GOOD. This is honestly probably just flew up to the top spot of my favorite romance of the year. I loved this book so much and these characters were so incredibly special. I loved Andy and Nick but I also loved how they fell in love. This was truly the friends to lovers slow burn will-they-or-won't-they "KISS ALREADY!!!" of my dreams.
Set in the 1950s, Andy and Nick already feel the pressure of not being able to be together due to sodomy laws. And so it is a joy to watch these men (one of whom has to have a queer awakening first!) choose to love who they want to love and to build a life together despite the fear and reach their romance HEA.
This was truly a special book. I loved it. In my mind, these two got married in their late seventies when gay marriage was finally legalized. If you enjoyed Last Night at the Telegraph Club but want adults with a happy ending, this book is a must.
