A beautiful story set during the Integration Period, Lies We Tell Ourselves follows the lives of integrationist Sarah Dunbar and segregationist Linda Hairston. That’s literally all I can say for this story. The writing is beautiful, the representation is prominent, and the relationship that develops between Sarah and Linda is one of a kind. This is a story everyone should read.
(An introduction: I loved this story.) Emily Price is in the midst of graduating high school and already has a strong job as a movie set designer. At first, everything is going swimmingly. Emi has found the perfect item for the set she’s working on, and has already solidified her future internship for when she graduates high school. The summer is where things get complicated. Emi’s brother loans her his apartment for the summer, but only one condition: do something amazing with the place. When she discovers a letter that leads her to a certain relative of a recently deceased movie star, Emily does just that. This book has the most interesting plotline, and it is not just because of the bisexual main character. Read it. Now.
A book I’ve been hearing about for years, The Miseducation of Cameron Post is about a young teenage girl who falls in love with her best friend. Her all-too conservative legal guardian (the title recently received after Cameron’s parents die in a car crash), Cameron’s aunt sends her away to a church camp that promises to, for lack of better words, pray the gay away. This is more of a coming-out story rather than a gay romance, but it is perhaps one of the most prominent LGBT+ books of our age. It is powerful, comforting, and legendary.
Set in Europe, Kitty has just lost her father to an unexpected accident. To escape their tragic past, Kitty’s mom suggests they move to Amsterdam, where Kitty meets Ethan and Theo. Secretive and conflicted, the two boys quickly become prominent interests in Kitty’s life. She begins to fall in love, but she soon learns falling is the tip of the iceberg. This Is Not A Love Story is a love triangle involving LGBT+ characters. The question remains, to which character (or characters) does it apply? Read to find out.
Astrid Jones spends her free time staring up at planes as they fly through the sky, wishing all those aboard love. A family with their own troubles, a small town, and a confused young high school senior. Ask The Passengers is a beautiful philosophical story of coming to terms with one’s identity. Critically-acclaimed author A.S. King continues her success with another story of strength, passion, and a little rebellion. There isn’t much to say about this book except read it.
Awesome! Its genuinely remarkable piece of writing, I have
got much clear idea regarding from this article.
