Thrilled that Loser of the Year was named one of @lesbrary.bsky.social's Best Sapphic Books of 2024, and even more thrilled to be listed alongside writers I deeply admire (& teach!). Thank you to the wonderful @jamiegeeksout.bsky.social for including Mattie & Jillian! lesbrary.com/best-sapphic...

A review of Carrie Byrd's Loser of the Year, by Jamie Rose: "Hurting from a rough divorce and failed acting career, Mattie Belman comes home to take the role of theater teacher at the local all-girls Catholic high school. It’s there that her path collides with Jillian Reed, the no-nonsense, tough as nails school soccer coach. What follows is a pitch perfect enemies-to-lovers romance that contains everything you want and more from the trope. The adversarial banter between Jillian and Maddie drips with tension and makes for an incredibly satisfying moment when the pair eventually give in to their desires. Loser of the Year is also a deeply moving story of overcoming religious trauma to find hope in our inner truth. Altogether, it’s a masterpiece of sapphic literature from one of the best new authors out there."
