   I love heartstopper
   
   it's a comic but I think it's really well written and sweet and the characters feel really real. And the art is really nice in my opinion.
   
   other than that I don't know but that's a personal favorite of mine

   I finished reading Radio Silence today and... I loved it. I loved the queer characters and the whole kiha just felt extremely real and I could relate to absolutely everything very easily. I really liked that the plot is not a love story and it won't change to that at any point - because platonic and purely friendly love is absolutely great and at the same time one of the main themes in the book. And I loved bi/ace/queer in general representation. I just loved it whole.

   (I love that I clicked on this and the other two recommendations on this page are by the same author as the one I'm posting.)
   
   Loveless by Alice Oseman is. just. INCREDIBLE. It's helped me a lot with accepting how I feel about my attraction to others and it emphasizes the importance of platonic friendships in ways I've never found anywhere else. It's exactly the kind of representation I never knew I needed. :)

   Jamie by L. D. Lapinski. It’s a middke grade, yeah, but it still almost made me cry lol. Main charcter- Jamie - is non-binary and whole book just made me feel a little bit more comfortable with myself.

   how it feels to float by Helena Fox is an amazing book that's set in a coastal town in Australia! Definitely recommend if you like books that tackle mental health and coming-of-age challenges, as it is truly wonderfully written. It's slightly more mental health heavy, but still wonderful nontheless!

   Man O' War by Cory McCarthy The story of a Arab American trans swimmer and true freaking love
   We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds. Uprooted from D.C. to a small Georgia town to care for her dying grandmother, Avery navigates a swoon-worthy queer romance while uncovering a dark, generational mystery surrounding the racist murder of her grandfather

   I just bought myself a copy of We Deserve Monuments a couple days ago! It's one of my favorite books
