Can’t think of atm but I enjoy the same literature! I hate that so many LGBTQ+ narratives are dominated by their identity and stereotypical struggles. Those narratives are super important but the sheer amount of them kind of reduces the individual into caricature of what it means to be gay!

no problem! Also We Are Okay by Nina Lacoste was really good. And They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera. I think all of Adams books also have gay main characters

This one, kind of. I can’t say without spoiling it.
It’s a Peter Pan retelling.
