Hard Love by Ellen Wittlinger has a lesbian character as the narrator’s love interest. There is also a short story called The Acuteness of Desire by Michael Lowenthal, but it’s quite sexual, so you have been warned lol I’m having trouble thinking of LGBT books though sadly.. ?
Spoiler Alert : The Hero dies at the End -Michael Ausiello and Apples and Regret and Wasted Time -Cornelia Grey and Borrowed Time : An AIDS Memoir Paul Monette
Island Boys Don’t Cry by Aurora Gayle. One of the main characters is gay and lives in a small third world country where it isn’t cool to be gay. He is a teacher and A student accuses him of sexual molestation and the story takes several interesting twists and turns from there.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, anything by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera. If I was your girl by Meredith Russo, The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson.
I like Every Day by David Levithan, and I consider it to be LGBTQIA+ because the main character doesn’t have a determined sex/gender, which makes their gender and sexuality fluid.
Also- Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things- it’s a really good paranormal YA. One of the main couples is M-M, they are my favorite couple, and the strongest romance story in the book
For fiction: Autoboyography by Christina Lauren, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee,A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, Hero by Perry Moore, Timekeeper by Tara Sim, The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black, We Are the Ants (and) At the Edge of the Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson, The Angel of History by Rabih Alameddine, The Chimes by Anna Smaill, History Is All You Left Me (and) They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera ; honorable mention: More Than This by Patrick Ness because it has a gay protagonist. Non-finction: Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir by Paul Monette, Becoming a Man by Paul Monette, Heaven’s Coast: A Memoir by Mark Doty, Geography Of The Heart by Fenton Johnson. 🙂
I read that too.. It honestly made me angry because I feel like she bashed her entire family and was extremely disrespectful. However, I also like the Kardashians, so maybe that’s why I was irritated as well. ?
@Keshia I just finished reading Kris Jenner’s book, and just read the first chapter of Caitlyn’s book so it’s going to be interesting to see the two different perspectives.
Oranges aren’t the only fruit. Can’t remember who wrote it but watched the film in school (late 80s) and wanted to read the book managed to find it in a charity shop mid 90s.great read I loved it.
