Of all the LGBTQ novels I’ve read during the summer of 2024 (some of which were unfinishable), there are only two I’ve been consistently recommending without hesitation.
Books
Your child has recently told you a secret that they can't hold tight anymore.
Katie Keridan believes in choosing who you want to be, and not having your past define you. That was one of the reasons why she wrote "Realm United."
Marina DelVecchio wanted to understand her sexuality and its origins, so she wrote "Unsexed" as a way to discover who she really was.
Your face is lovely, dewy, and softly unlined.
Ellie Palmer wanted to tell a story that explored love without the body parts society frequently links with a woman’s sexuality, so she wrote, "Four Weekends and a Funeral."
Sometimes, you just need to step back a minute.
Chatham Greenfield's own disability makes them feel like they're stuck in a time loop, so they wanted to write a story about a character going through something similar, but having someone by their side who understands them.
If you have loved gay writer Tim Murphy’s books since his breathtaking 2016 breakthrough novel “Christadora” and its 2019 follow-up “Correspondents,” then you will be happy to know that his fourth novel, “Speech Team” (Viking, 2023) is being released in August. A powerful story about the consequences of words and a quest for restorative justice, “Speech Team” follows four high school classmates who reunite more than 20 years after graduation following the suicide of a fellow speech team member.
