Red comes with drama and mystery! And also identity crises, apparently?
The Morning Star by M. Chandler
3/5 stars. A spy series with M/M romance between an art thief and a FBI agent, it’s entertaining, while not realistic, with enemies to lovers kind of vibe.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green
Gay main characters and musicals is what I remember from this book. I liked this book when I read it, but it’s honestly been a while.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
5/5 stars, it’s such great heist fantasy with awesome friend-group. Bisexual male characters (maybe one of them was gay?).
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Cute YA coming of age story with gay main character and him coming out and starting to date.
Girl Mans Up by M-E Girard
Queer girl main character. YA contemporary novel about struggling with gender identity, fitting in with friends and dealing with her family negative attitude about her not being ‘girly’ enough
TBR
Demon Road by Derek Landy
YA fantasy book with a queer girl main characters, I think. I’m not sure if it’s explicitly said before the sequel. She’s on the run from demons, so that’s why it’s on my TBR, haha. I love that we’ve come to a point where I constantly find books that have queer characters by accident, instead of having to go on a hunt for queer books.
Let me know if you’ve read any of these books and if you liked them! Please link your post if you’re participating so I see it and recommend any LGBTQ books you’ve loved.

I’ve been wanting to read Girl Mans Up for quite a while now!

It felt so different and didn’t shy away from how tough the dilemma can be of the main character wanting to fit in (especially with friends) and survive being a teenager, but also be themselves.

That sounds so good! I think it’s on my audiobook service, so I’ll try to get to it this month!

Girl Mans Up sounds super interesting… My TBR is growing ever taller this month with all these LGBTQ+ book recs coming at me 😀

Haha same here. It’s interesting, if only the character voice more childish and feels like younger YA than expected.
