Jaye Robin Brown recommends

Fade into You (2025)
Sam Gellar and Amber Smith
"I loved Fade Into You. It took me back to the cusp of the 2000's when being queer was less okay than now and family dynamics were built around even bigger societal expectations. Both Jess and Bird are dealing with struggles in friendships and siblings, neither quite knowing how to be completely themselves. Until they meet. And though it's not a charmed meet cute and there are stumbles along the way, what both girls discover is that it is possible to find that person, the one who accepts and adores you for ALL that you are. With beautiful writing and relatable characters, Amber and Sam have written a distinct dual POV young adult romance that highlights the importance of finding someone who really gets you and still likes you anyway. A love story not to miss."

Always the Almost (2023)
Edward Underhill
"This gem of a debut novel exquisitely renders the complexity of friendship, love, and family. It elevates the joy one finds when truly and fully accepting all of who you are, but mostly it's a heart-thumping, great read of a romance. I loved Miles and his journey. You will, too."

Home Field Advantage (2022)
Dahlia Adler
"J-A-C-K, I'm Team Jack all the way! Seriously though, Dahlia Adler's newest book, Home Field Advantage, is going to be an instant favorite. It's like your favorite pair of well-worn jeans, the biggest bowl of mac-n-cheese, or the snuggliest sweater on a warm night. It's the book you're going to read again and again when you desperately need a dose of big queer butterflies in the stomach. It's pure romantic gold with perfect girl loves girl attraction. Read it. Repeatedly."
