You’re So Dead by Ash Parsons

Look by Zan Romanoff

Look is about what you present vs. who you really are, about real and manufactured intimacy and the blurring of that line. It’s a deceptively glamorous, utterly compelling, beautifully written, queer coming-of-age novel about falling in love and taking ownership of your own self–your whole self–in the age of social media.

Verona Comics by Jennifer Dugan

This heart-warming queer love story set in an indie comic book shop is also a thoughtful depiction of living with anxiety and depression, as Ridley and Jubliee come together amidst their families feuding and Jubliee’s cellist ambitions.
