    Does anyone have any good book recommendations?

    Something with lesbian characters, but not necessarily a romance where it’s central to the plot.

    Thank you. :slight_smile:

    Upside of Unrequited by Beck Albertalli. Main characters are fraternal twin girls. One is a lesbian and the other is straight.

    I'm currently reading Honor Guard, it's a series from Radclyffe. It's considered a love book but the main character is a secret service agent and has to protect the presidents daughter, and of course there's trouble. It's got like 10 books in the series but I'm barely on the first book.

    Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
    How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake (this one is a romance)
    The Pros of Cons by Alison Cherry, Lindsay Ribar, and Michelle Shusterman
    Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
    A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna
    With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
    You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

    This list should be a lot longer because a lot of queer books have come out in recent months but I haven't had a chance to read them.

    Not a good one if you want a happy ending, but The Dark Light by Julia Bell. Destroyed me when I was younger!

    I’ve read all the books in the series, Code of honour is my favorite. Each book is about a new couple while keeping up with the previous ones. I love her Provincetown series about a cop and a doctor. And her Justice series which is action packed. Or her Rivers Hospital series about a small hospital where most of the Rivers family works. One of the characters has a F to M transgender teen. They are all good.
