Danika reviews The Summer I Wasn’t Me by Jessica Verdi
Before picking up The Summer I Wasn’t Me, I was in a bit of a reading slump. I just didn’t feel like reading anything. After reading the first couple sentences of this one, though, I was ready to give it a try. Instead, I read it in two days, impatiently waiting for when I could pickRead More
Ashley reviews The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George
Don’t judge this book by its cover – or by its title. While The Difference Between You and Me sounds like your typical novel about an unlikely high school pair, fear not – Madeleine George’s uniquely realistic teenage voice makes this book stand out among its queer YA companions.

Marcia reviews Star Cursed, The Cahill Witch Chronicles Book #2, by Jessica Spotswood
I was more than a little excited to pick up my copy of Star Cursed, the sequel to Born Wicked and book two of The Cahill Witch Chronicles by Jessica Spotswood.

Danika reviews Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block
Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block is a post-apocalyptic Fantasy teen re-telling of The Odyssey. Yes, it has a lot going on.

I was a little worried to start this book, actually. If You Could Be Mine is a book about two teenage girls in love in Iran. Homosexuality is illegal, but sex changes are legal and even partially funded by the government. The questions is, how far will Sahar go to be able to stay with Nasrin,Read More
Erica Gillingham reviews She Loves You, She Loves You Not… by Julie Anne Peters
She shoves the tray between us and cuts through. The name on her badge reads FINN. I watch her dump the tray, load up the hot plates along her arm, then serpentine through the tables and chairs. Dyke! my gaydar screams. She has that self-confident aura. Plus, she’s wearing carpenter shorts and leather hiking shoes.Read More
Jill Guccini reviews If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan
Sara Farizan’s If You Could Be Mine tells a story that I don’t think has ever been told in Young Adult fiction before, and it’s an important one. Set in contemporary Iran, it’s told from the point of view of 17-year-old Sahar, who has been in love with her best friend Nasrin for almost asRead More
Casey reviews Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin
I think Molly Beth Griffin’s novel Silhouette of a Sparrow might just be the best lesbian young adult novel I’ve ever read. I don’t say that lightly. It has everything I could hope for: effortless yet beautiful writing, an authentic and lovable young heroine, a subtle and moving romance, an environmentalist sub-plot—honestly, what more couldRead More
