Marisa Kanter recommends
Don't Let It Break Your Heart (2024)
Maggie Horne
"An emotionally charged queer romance that deftly unpacks the distinction between coming out and being out with nuance and heartfelt honesty. Don't Let it Break Your Heart is a gorgeously rendered, visceral [YA]debut about a girl untangling herself from the people who have always defined her . . . and discovering her dreams, her desires, herself in the process."
Plus One (2023)
Kelsey Rodkey
"A breezy, summertime romp that will have you laughing (and swooning!) from the first page, Plus One is an ode to messy girls who are deserving of love exactly as they are. Kelsey Rodkey is forever an auto-buy author of mine!"
Something Like Possible (2023)
Miel Moreland
"Miel Moreland writes the stories I wish I had as a teenager-inclusive, empowering, and unapologetically queer. Madison's journey is one that is crafted with such sensitivity and tenderness, showcasing the realities of being a queer teen without sacrificing queer joy. For every ambitious girl who has been told that they are 'too much,' Something Like Possible is a validating promise that you are enough."
