Maria is a trans lesbian living in New York. Danforth navigates grief, heartbreak, and falling in love with a practiced hand. Binnie gives us complete access to Maria’s thoughts. It all gets more complicated when Lorraine uncovers an old family secret. I’ve never read another book that captures the uncertain certainty of teenage lesbianism in a conservative environment.
If you like dystopian science fiction, this is a great choice for you.
She depicts lesbian culture in the 1950s-1960s, touches on racism, and captures the frustrations of working in the sciences as a woman. This book was not officially read by our book club. Those of us who did not like it thought the book was too dark. Orphaned at 12, Cameron navigates grief, puberty, and her attraction to women while living with her conservative, but well-meaning, aunt. Lauren can’t figure out how to find a girlfriend in Duluth, Minnesota, so for now, she’s focused on doing better in school and trying not to feel so crazy all the time. Set during the Cold War, this book follows Lucybelle Bledsoe in her quest to find love and carve out a name for herself in the male-dominated field of science editing. Will she ever find freedom and love? I threw this in the bonus section because this book was very polarizing. Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta. Then Bren moves to town, and Kaycee falls hard and fast. Finally, a teen romance that isn’t about coming out! You’ll flip between pirate fights, floating cities, monster training, romantic moments, and even a pirate fight club.
Lesbian fiction can be hit or miss, something I learned quickly while running a lesbian book club in 2017. The book club liked this book overall, but was torn on the style. They began a long distance relationship, and eventually met in the summer of 2011.
While in Chicago, Lucybelle struggles to make friends with the other women in the office, navigates the difficulties of a working as woman in the 1950s, and falls in love with a black photographer named Stella.
The foundational texts of lesbian literature were written in the latter 20th century. Maria is relatable and funny as much as she is troubled. Maria struggles with alcoholism and other substances. Cameron reads like a real teenager, full of optimism, hope, self-doubt, conflict, and her own lively personality. We also were not totally sold on the writing style, it can be a bit confusing.
Bledsoe takes on a lot in a relatively short book. Santa Elena orders Cassandra to raise the sea monster pup and teach him to fight for the pirates. Sam would gladly have nothing to do with prom, but her best friend and the girl she’s pining over, Tash, dreams of the perfect romantic prom night. While certainly a page-turner, some scenes are abrupt, even jarring.
Plus, it features space pirates and genetically engineered sea monsters.
Score A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book.
Bend is a solid addition to lesbian fiction. Lucy’s video montage of their first week together was posted to the couple’s YouTube channel, and their story was shared with the world. We also liked the more modern writing style. About half the book club loved the book. Along the way she meets James, someone she’s pretty sure is also transgender but doesn’t realize it. The only problem: the girl she’s set her sights on is the daughter of a southern Republican mayor, and she insists on monogamy.
It begins bleeding—sprouting bones and hair. It does a great job highlighting Nigerian culture and what growing up during a civil war looked like to a child. Hedin takes inspiration from her own childhood in Central Minnesota to create a lively town full of relatable characters. Ijeoma is only 11 when she is sent away to live in safety with family friends. Hedin is a mental health crisis worker, which shows in the way she handles mental health problems that appear in the novel.
But first she has to reveal her true feelings.
My only complaint with the book is I wish it was longer.
The group unanimously rated this book a near-perfect read. This is one of my all time favorite books.
If you've been looking for a great, newish work of queer literature, look no further. Set in Nigeria during the Nigerian Civil War, this novel manages to focus our attention on what it was like to be a child in a war-torn country rather than the violence itself. Ava is angry with her mother’s passing and her adopted mother’s homophobia. I do not know much about African culture and thoroughly enjoyed reading a book about a lesbian from a non-Western society. More coming-of-age than coming out, Danforth captures the struggle of growing up gay in small-town America without damning the town in which it takes place. She ended things with her on-again-off-again girlfriend, maybe for good, and is living with her best friend in an adorable LA apartment. Whether you’re still in high school, or you just want to revisit the kinds of books that helped you accept yourself and your sexual orientation as a teenager, a lesbian young adult novel is completely relatable.
If lesbian pirates and sea monster trainers in a dystopian morally iffy world are for you, this is your book. She does the bare minimum. We've got you covered with the buzziest new releases of the day. For Cassandra Leung, training sea monsters is just the family business. So here are 10 lesbian YA novels you'll totally love! Set in the 1990s, the story centers around Cameron Post.
I thought I would share which books our book club thoroughly enjoyed. It’s hard to know which lesbian fiction is good lesbian fiction. The romance subplot moves well, too.
This, unfortunately, timely debut novel follows Autumn and Sylv, two high school girlfriends who are stuck in an auditorium with a shooter. Her family creates and rears Reckoners, genetically engineered monsters that protect ships traversing the pirate-infested seas of the NeoPacific. The writing style is sharp and full of midwest personality. When falling for the new girl in town takes a bad turn, Cameron finds herself sent off to a “de-gaying” camp. Novels in which lesbians are the main characters; their lives, relationships and friendships. Audiobook Shaming is Ableist and Laughably Silly.
