The Reprise is a heart-warming novella about embracing forgiveness. The story follows two timelines—past and present—to tell the story of our main character Quinn, and their relationship with Wesley. Once again, Connor Bryan does a spectacular job showcasing the diversity within the cast without making it a major plot point, and once again, I fell in love with every character.

The dynamics within the group are realistic, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of belonging. I’ve never done A Capella, but I did sing in a band during high school so I maybe there was a nostalgia factor there as well.

The romance between Quinn and Wesley was sweet but had enough of an edge to keep me entertained and wanting to know more and despite the page count, Quinn’s grows so much throughout the story. I was so proud of them by the end!

I was expecting a “there’s only one bed” moment (who doesn’t love some wholesome forced proximity?) which I didn’t get, but there were a ton of other swoon-worthy moments.

If you’re looking for a short and sweet queer love story with themes of forgiveness, redemption, and letting go of the past, this is the perfect read.
