She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott

Genre: Young Adult Romance

Your classic enemies to lovers trope that I will *never* get sick of. This dual-perspective novel follows Molly who has been crushing on the same girl for the last four years and Alex who has just had a rough breakup. Alex devises a plan to help Molly in hopes that she can prove that she's a good person to her ex so they can get back together. But once everything goes according to plan, they each start realizing that maybe this wasn't what they truly wanted...

I listened to this one as an audiobook and it gave me all the feel-goods I needed to get me through the week!

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox Genre: Young Adult Graphic Novel In this graphic novel, Lewis Hancox takes us on the path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. I loved the way this one was written with future Lewis beside his past self reassuring the reader that everything worked out in the end. It helped keep everything light and enjoyable. Too often I find myself getting sad when reading trans stories because they tend to get really dark until their transition. Future Lewis made that discomfort easier to bear. I really enjoyed the art style for this one as well. - Emily

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade Genre: Romance I love any book Olivia Dade writes because she is more inclusive with body size and age in her female characters. I reach for one of her books when I need a good side of fluff and day dreamy material. Spoiler Alert is a romance focused on the two main characters and their adventures in fan fiction and misunderstandings in communication. This all happens with a super famous male lead! (P.S. The main female character is a geologist, so this book rocks!) - Tristan

Aces Wild by Amanda Dewitt

Aces Wild by Amanda Dewitt Genre: Young Adult Fiction I've never seen a book like this before - a story about a group of asexual teens who meet up in Las Vegas for a heist. It's awesome to see this kind of representation in books. A good read! - Bethany
