Queen B’s Decree: When I saw this book mentioning Newsies, I couldn’t have clicked “request” any faster. I had to “seize the day.”
We Could Be So Good is based in the 1950’s in NYC and stars Nick (the star reporter!) and the newspaper owner’s son, Andy. It was a bit of a slow start, but I was hooked from the beginning. I am slightly ashamed of myself for being so ignorant of the history; I vaguely knew of the Stonewall Riots but it didn’t really click for me how bad it really was for the gay community. Needless to say, Nick is not out or openly gay.
And Andy is just his best friend…until he gets dumped and stays with Nick. And then he starts to examine his feelings more.
I loved watching them fall in love, or more specifically, recognize themselves as already in love. Nick and Andy were like two halves of a whole; both just wanting the best for the other. We Could Be So Good was sweet and loving and adorable and another great read by Cat Sebastian.
