Cat Sebastian is an author I've grown to love since reading "The Queer Principles of Kit Webb." I immediately picked up this novella once it was announced. A queer historical baseball romances with no plot, just vibes? A total score!
Luke and Billy Finally Get A Clue was a cute novella about queer baseball players in the 1950s who play for the Philadelphia Phillies. I enjoyed that it didn't hesitate to talk about sports injuries as Luke becomes disabled due to getting hit in the head by a pitch. It was a great slice of life novella that was a joy to read. If you enjoy reading about grumpy characters, you'll love Luke and Billy. Their romance was a slow, friends to lovers and I just loved how much Billy cared about him :)
