You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian
5.0
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. This is my honest review.
This isn't really a book about baseball. Though I definitely am more interested in watching a game after reading it. Instead, this is a book about life and love after loss, living in the 1960s as two queer men, being a gay baseball player, finding friends you can rely on, a sassy little spoiled dog and the grown men who love her, sharing book recommendations, finding your community, and finding what you want to love out of life.
I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised that this book is about so much more than baseball. Cat Sebastian can do no wrong. They gave us We Could Be So Good and we said, I love this queer little love story in the 50s!" Then they said, "Oh yah? Just wait!" And gave us You Should Be So Lucky as if we dared them to do and they took that challenge head on.
It's sweet and full of tender moments that made my heart twist with pain and flutter at the same time. It's not overly sad, but instead focuses on the how we continue to live. This is book is SO GORGEOUS with how it handles hard topics that I just don't know if anything else could top it. Favorite book of 2024.
