The Prospects is one of the best romance books I've read this year, and possibly my favorite queer romance ever. This book was full of so much trans joy! It made me extremely happy to see Gene not only living his dream of playing professional baseball, but doing so surrounded by his friends, family, and teammates who all love him. Watching Luis go from being this grumpy guy, to opening up about his anxiety issues, and finally learning to let down his guard and let Gene in was such a wonderful story progression. This book was also a huge love letter to baseball. It was so much fun following the team throughout the season, and definitely makes me want to go to a minor league baseball game.

I just really loved watching Gene and Luis fall in love, and I cannot wait to read what KT Hoffman writes next!

Thank you to Dial Press, Random House, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
