Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Romances of 2024

Young Adult Okay, Cupid by Mason Deaver (January 2nd) As a cupid, Jude thinks they understand love a little bit more than the average human. It makes sense — Jude’s been studying love their whole teen life. And, yes, there have been some bumps in the road, and they’re currently on probation for doing something that they absolutely, definitely shouldn’t have done… but they’re ready to prove they…

Rating: 3/5

Book Blurb: From the author of Some Girls Do comes another heartfelt YA sapphic romance—starring a baseball pitcher and a student umpire who are definitely not supposed to fall for one another.

“Sapphic sports romance perfection. Swoony and romantic, but unafraid to tackle grief, family expectations, and fighting for your dreams, this is a home run of a book.” —Rachael Lippincott, coauthor of the #1 New York Times Bestsellers Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl

June is the star pitcher of her elite club baseball team—with an ego to match—and she's a shoo-in to be recruited at the college level, like her parents have always envisioned. That is, if she can play through an overuse injury that has recently gone from bad to worse.

Ivy isn't just reffing to pay off her athletic fees or make some extra cash on the side. She wants to someday officiate at the professional level, even if her parents would rather she go to college instead.

The first time they cross paths, Ivy throws June out of a game for grandstanding. Still, they quickly grow from enemies to begrudging friends . . . and then something more. But the rules state that players and umpires are prohibited from dating.

As June's shoulder worsens, and a rival discovers the girls' secret and threatens to expose them, everything the two have worked so hard for is at risk. Now both must choose: follow their dreams . . . or follow their hearts?

Review:

A baseball pitcher and an umpire fall for each other despite their differences and the fact that they are forbidden from dating. June is the star pitcher of her club baseball team and she's got the ego to match. She's readily on her way to being recruited at the college level. The only thing stopping her? Her little secret... her shoulder is injured and its only getting worse with every practice and game she plays. Ivy dreams about being an umpire for a soccer team, yet her reffing isn't going to pay for her athletic fees, so when she gets offered a job as a reff for a baseball team she takes the job. When Ivy and June's path's cross during a match, they have a pretty bad start (with June throwing a baseball at Ivy's head after Ivy calls her out, and then Ivy kicks her out of the game). Ivy and June start off as enemies but becoming begrudging friends... something more as they begin falling for each other. It's forbidden for them to be dating but they can't resist... and when a rival discovers their secret relationship and threatens to expose them, things only get more complicated. Can their relationship last or will it cost them everything they've ever worked for? This was an okay read for me. I wanted to like the romance more but I just felt that it was kinda meh and I just didn't really care for either of the characters all that much. The characters just felt a bit underdeveloped and i just wasn't all that attached to the story by the end. I do think that young adult readers will have fun with the sapphic sports romance though so I think you should check it out.

*Thanks Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group | G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Playing for Keeps

Sometimes the Writing Bug bites at odd times.

Took a little break in editing to scribble off the first 3.25 pages of the Introduction to the Hephaistion-Krateros monograph, Playing for Keeps (working title). It's been percolating in the back of my head for a while.

Hamilton figures prominently (or rather the finale song: "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story").

I loved when Kevin says I love you in PFK 😭😭 such a moment to add to the fic….. do you think Andreil says I love you to each other & Kevin as well? I mean obviously they’re soulmates and they show each other in all ways they can but do they say it….. what do you think?

OH HMMMMM... i feel like thats the golden question the fandom has been parroting to each other for the last three years..... im unsure to be honest. i think because i am also not the kind of person who says i love you to people, i can understand a little better when people argue for andreil never saying it to each other/kevin....... nevertheless i dont think its impossible at all!!!!! but i do think that its very embarrassing. i can see neil just slurring the words very quickly one morning because he feels bad kevin said it and he didnt answer in time, or andrew blurting it out very blankly once and never again.... thinking emoji...... i imagine that if they do say it to kevin then its really awkward, and if they say it to each other its even more so... but theyd still try to eventually anyway. if just to get the words out once in their lives

ultimately though i dont think kevin really cares for this!!! not even in a being totally certain of it already way but because kevin himself isnt truly used to hearing the word love either. i think him saying it in pfk might sound like it was premeditated but in reality he just said it in the spur of the moment because he truly felt like he loved neil for those 5 minutes he was afforded to nap....!!! in a similar fashion, i dont think kevin would be able to say it in a serious conversation either, so andreil dont really have to worry about it....... but to answer your question in a more concise way: yes it does happen eventually, but its very cringe and awkward and every time without fail the other person just looked at them like ....ok then went on with their lives

#kandreil cringelords most fail couple of all time is so serious #theyre actually so bad #LIKE ITS NOT THAT THEY WOULDNT SAY I LOVE YOU. ITS THAT WHEN THEY SAY IT ITS SO AWKWARD.#neil out of the blue in the kitchen: i love you kevin: neil: *walks away*#or andrew looking up from his crosswords with the blankest face you can imagine saying the words like they pain him a nd then ignoring #them for the rest of the day #its like when ur cat is nice to u and then he has to remind you that youre at his mercy #also kevin is really not smooth at all his ass is not saying i love you totally sober and sane........ hes too e mbarrassed #basically theyre like all of us when we were 13 and in our first relationship #and it really shows. it really does #kandreil #asks #playing for keeps
