Colleen Hoover meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in this mid-century romdram about a scrappy reporter and a newspaper mogul’s son—perfect for Newsies shippers.

“A spectacularly talented writer!” —Julia Quinn

Nick Russo has worked his way from a rough Brooklyn neighborhood to a reporting job at one of the city’s biggest newspapers. But the late 1950s are a hostile time for gay men, and Nick knows that he can’t let anyone into his life. He just never counted on meeting someone as impossible to say no to as Andy.

Andy Fleming’s newspaper-tycoon father wants him to take over the family business. Andy, though, has no intention of running the paper. He’s barely able to run his life—he’s never paid a bill on time, routinely gets lost on the way to work, and would rather gouge out his own eyes than deal with office politics. Andy agrees to work for a year in the newsroom, knowing he’ll make an ass of himself and hate every second of it.

Except, Nick Russo keeps rescuing Andy: showing him the ropes, tracking down his keys, freeing his tie when it gets stuck in the ancient filing cabinets. Their unlikely friendship soon sharpens into feelings they can’t deny. But what feels possible in secret—this fragile, tender thing between them—seems doomed in the light of day. Now Nick and Andy have to decide if, for the first time, they’re willing to fight.

Reviews for We Could Be So Good: A Novel

"""Cat Sebastian is a queen of queer historical romance.... [She] never disappoints."" -- Entertainment Weekly ""A spectacularly talented writer!"" -- Julie Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series ""This historical romance is billed as being 'for Newsies shippers, ' and it absolutely delivers."" -- Dahlia Adler, Buzzfeed Books ""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 ""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) ""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) ""In Sebastian's work...the right to love and be loved as we are is a compass that always points toward justice."" -- New York Times Book Review ""[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 ""From its brilliantly crafted opening...to its blissfully romantic conclusion, everything about Sebastian's latest...is perfectly on-point."" -- Booklist (starred review) on The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes ""An irresistible story of love and adventure that will delight both newcomers and regular readers of queer romance."" -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Queer Principles of Kit Webb ""Cat Sebastian has a place on my keeper shelf!"" -- Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author"
