Jessica Tran is almost seventeen, bisexual, Vietnamese-American, a ‘high school nobody’, average student – and haver of no superpowers. Not that she hasn’t tried. Her sister does, is off somewhere being a journalist slash super hero, and her brother is at least a science genius. But what does Jess have? Well, hopefully, an internship. TheRead More
Kathryn Hoss reviews Not Your Sidekick by C. B. Lee
Five words: lesbian, bisexual, and trans superheroes. Wait, I think I need a few more. Lesbian, bisexual, and trans superheroes taking on the kyriarchy, falling in love, and just… being kids. Jessica Tran doesn’t fit in. I know, not the most original premise. But along with all the normal crap teenagers worry about– mediocre gradesRead More
Rachel reviews Country Girl, City Girl by Lisa Jahn-Clough
Over the years, lesbian novels have become readily available for people of all ages, including teenagers and young adults. Because each age group varies, the subject of homosexuality is handled in different ways for the targeted audience. One book I’d suggest to girls in their teens just realizing their sexuality would be Country Girl, CityRead More
Danika reviews As I Descended by Robin Talley
When I heard a YA book was coming out that was a lesbian boarding school Macbeth retelling, I was already on board before I had even heard that it was by Robin Talley, the author of one of my favourite lesbian YA books. This isn’t a direct retelling of Macbeth, but it does cover mostRead More
Danika reviews Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova
Nothing says Happy Birthday like summoning the spirits of your dead relatives. 2016 is shaping up to be introducing the kind of LBPQ YA we’ve been waiting for. Between Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit‘s YA lesbian romance with an unapologetically religious main character, Of Fire and Stars‘s fantasy story focusing on two princesses falling inRead More
Danika reviews You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour and David Levithan
This book is a romp. Ever since I read Boy Meets Boy, I’ve been looking for a queer women’s equivalent: a cotton candy book that, despite any issues it addresses, fills you with a sense of hope, warmth, and happiness. This book seems to do the trick quite nicely, and it’s no surprise that it’s cowrittenRead More
Shira Glassman reviews Prom and Other Hazards by Jamie Sullivan
Any story that starts with “will you GOAT to prom with me” has got me hooked. The main character may think that’s an awful pickup line, but I’m all over that shit 😛 This was a totally approachable piece of contemporary YA f/f with a happy ending, relatable and familiar characters, and girls in formal wear lookingRead More
Marthese reviews Fat Angie by e.E. Charlton-Trujillo
“There’s more to you than how you look, you’re more than a package” Fat Angie is a book that I had been meaning to read for a while because it seemed like a complex and intersectional queer read. Spoiler: it is. Fat Angie is about Angie, a rerunning freshman in Ohio who has a lotRead More
Danika reviews Marian by Ella Lyons
How’s this for an elevator pitch?: Lesbian YA Robin Hood retelling. If you’re anything like me, that immediately added Marian by Ella Lyons to your TBR. There’s just one problem: that’s not exactly what Marian is. This novella (135 pages) follows Marian, a daughter of a knight, who finds herself thrust out of her country home into theRead More
Aoife reviews Training Ground by Kate Christie
I was not, unfortunately, super into this book. Training Ground is the first book in the Girls of Summer series by Kate Christie, and to be honest, it reads more like a prequel – the whole book is just backstory for book 2. She categorises TG as a ‘contemporary lesfic with a romantic arc, butRead More
