The Prospects by KT Hoffman was really everything I love about a sports romance with added layers of depth that really set it apart. Gene is a queer trans man making a name for himself in the minor leagues. I absolutely loved his character. Gene is so authentically and unapologetically himself while also being loyal, optimistic and earnest. When his former college teammate, Luis, gets traded to the Beavers their long simmering chemistry becomes undeniable. 
Outside of the central romance there are so many little details that show how much thought and care KT Hoffman put into this story. My favorite was the character Jack, Gene's best friend's husband and also deaf. When Jack is communicating with sign  language the author goes into a level of detail I rarely see. The author describes the hand movements, lip reading, and the emotion behind the signs. 
Overall, a sparkling debut and I can't wait for more from Hoffman.
