You Should Be So Lucky
by Cat Sebastian
Buy on Amazon
I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to read different sub-genres of romance because I found myself only reading contemporary and it was starting to all blend together into one big glob. Plus, now that I own a romance bookstore, I figure that it would be a good idea to start dipping my toes into different types of romances. One of the members of my book club (hi Jenny!) is a Cat Sebastian superfan, so we read We Could Be So Good for one of our meetings. I liked it a lot, so I decided to read the second one in the interconnected series, which is You Should Be So Lucky , and I loved it! It’s a bit of a heavier read, because Mark is dealing with the grief of losing his long-term partner who led a closeted life. This is New York in the 1960s. He finds friendship and love with Eddie, a queer baseball player who is in a slump and having a hard time adjusting to a new city and team. It was so wonderful. It was funny, warm, insightful, devastating, and just plain beautiful. I truly loved it and it has become one of my favorites to sell. I am so happy that this book is now one of my main personality traits.

"Sports romance is all the rage right now. As a person who does not care for sports, this new trend is not my favorite. On the other hand, I love Cat Sebastian as an author so much that I will read anything she writes – which was how I ended up with her new romance about a cinnamon roll of a baseball star and a grumpy reporter, set in 1960. Eddie and Mark are forced to work together, and sparks fly. But those same circumstances might pull them apart, since Eddie can’t be out publicly and play professional sports, and Mark refuses to be trapped in another secret relationship. If you like audiobooks, one of my favorite narrators, Joel Leslie, does a fantastic job on this one."
