You know a novel is well-written if you find yourself sucked into the story, feeling every single emotion the characters are feeling, and either moving you to tears or making you smile without realizing. Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen, a YA lesbian romance, is precisely that kind of book, and what makesRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews The Buddha of Lightning Peak by Yudron Wangmo
Within a few chapters of starting The Buddha of Lightning Peak, I thought I understood where the story was going: Plucky teenager takes on corporation to save the environment! Having been environmentally-focused as a teenager, this was a plot that would have been just fine by me. By the midway point of the book, however, itRead More
Danika reviews Ice Massacre by Tiana Warner
Why did no one tell me about this book earlier?? Honestly, this should be much more well known. Ice Massacre is about Meela, and 18-year-old girl who has been trained to fight killer mermaids. She’s needed to defend her island, but she has qualms about being sent out to massacre the “sea demons”: she befriended oneRead More

But CB Lee’s Not Your Sidekick is a much-needed contribution for those of us who for whateverRead More

Aoife reviews Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee
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.

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

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.
