If you’re a fan of TJ Klune’s cozy queer fantasy books, you’ll love Matt Cain’s cozy contemporary queer stories! I’d compare the vibes of Becoming Ted to those of The House in the Cerulean Sea, but with older characters. This story is not just about Ted discovering who he is in the wake of a separation but also that of his friends and his new love interest. Becoming Ted is truly a journey for all the characters, and I loved reading about people who are discovering new things about themselves later in life and evolving; which is my favorite part of the book. It truly goes to show you can always start anew at any time! Matt Cain’s writing is heartfelt and touching, and I can’t wait to share this book with my friends and everyone else I know!
