"Cat Sebastian has a place on my keeper shelf!” - Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author

“Cat Sebastian is a queen of queer historical romance…. [She] never disappoints.” - Entertainment Weekly

“When Cat Sebastian is creating romance, every serve is an ace. … [The] slow-burning sparks are organic, joy inducing and earned.” - NPR

“A spectacularly talented writer!” - Julie Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series

“Irresistible…. There’s plenty of conflict to keep the pages flying, but it’s the scenes of Nick and Andy’s cozy domesticity that truly shine. This wonderful period romance will leave readers just as giddy as its leads.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“It’s not about the events [of the plot], it’s about the going through [them]. And the going through is wonderful: At one point a character makes some soup, and then later a different character makes more soup, and here I am weeping and prostrate because the reader knows what that soup means. … Queer oppression, the civil rights movement, white supremacy—these are tangible contexts in this novel, but they are not the subject. The subject: joy as praxis, love as liberation. You can’t do the big rebellions if you can’t start with the small ones.” - New York Times Book Review

“[A] tender love story.” - Popsugar

"Sebastian is the master of slow-burning sizzle with a realistic touch." - Boston Globe

“[T]he focus remains on the revolutionary act of queer joy…. A found family element contributes to the hopefulness and heart that are the cores of this story. A vividly portrayed midcentury romance filled with queer contentment.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Well, this is just great. … Few authors have Sebastian’s flair for deftly exploring the intricate, often messy nature of human relationships, from moments of heartbreak to happiness, with such insight and compassion. While the vividly evoked 1950s setting is new for this author, everything else about this sublimely romantic love story, including the dryly witty writing and graceful characterization, is signature Sebastian.” - Booklist (starred review)

“Fans of the author’s books will absolutely not want to miss this one. This sweetly angsty novel about two people finding themselves and figuring out a way forward together will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading opposites-attract romances with found family subplots.” - Library Journal (starred review)

“[We Could Be So Good] reads like a love letter to the queer pulp novels of the era, but with an infusion of hope not often seen in literature about the time period. … With We Could Be So Good, Sebastian adds a tender, heartening stunner of a love story to her already-impressive body of work.” - BookPage

“Cat Sebastian is my desert island author—I would follow her through any era, any trope, any time. There is a lightness to Sebastian’s work that makes every page sing; every beat of repartee is bright with wit, every quiet moment impossibly, ardently romantic. It’s the kind of book that ends all too soon, because what could ever be better than life on Cat Sebastian’s page?” - Olivie Blake, author of the New York Times bestselling Atlas series

“This historical romance is billed as being ‘for Newsies shippers,’ and it absolutely delivers.” - Dahlia Adler, Buzzfeed Books
