Does anyone have YA recommendations with gay characters? I’m especially looking for stories that aren’t just about coming out
Does anyone have YA recommendations with gay characters? I’m especially looking for stories that aren’t just about coming out
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!
Right? I just want a good old fashioned romance story only the characters happen to both be girls
Simon vs. the Homosapien Agenda
anything by shaun david hutchinson. he is my favorite author ?? they are ya contemporary with a fantastical element.
Thanks for the recommendation!
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
I just finished a series by Amanda Hocking and noticed she has this one too:

I’ll give you the sun by jandy Nelson
Fantastic book
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
I’ll Give You The Sun
Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda
Carry On (sort of follow up to Fangirl)
Recommend carry on by rainbow rowel!
And 366 days by Kiyoshi Tanaka
Stories not focusing on coming out but main characters are gay ?
And the obvious two simon vs homosapiens and Aristotle and Dante discover the universe
Anything by Adam Silvera! His books are amazing ?
I’ll give you the sun by jandy Nelson and Simon vs the homosapiens agenda by Becky albertalli are awesome too ❤️
They Both Die At the End
Yes! And it’s also our book of the month ?
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Fat Angie, if I was your girl, Leah on the Off beat.
This one, kind of. I can’t say without spoiling it.
It’s a Peter Pan retelling.
Reign of the Fallen
Check out Kennedy King’s Love of Olympia !! I think it’s actually on sale right now too
