Sorry if you've already answered this, but do you have any YA recs where the main character reconnects with an old lover? Can be anyything, but preferably wlw though. Thank you :D!

Aw, it always gets me when someone asks for something I’m actively working on, but that also usually means I haven’t already seen it. Second-chance romance is pretty rare in YA because there’s not a huge window in which you can get together, separate, and get together again. (Especially if you’re using “lover” literally.) The two closest things I’ve seen are Keeping Her Secret by Sarah Nicolas, though they weren’t in a romantic relationship to start with, and We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, but the reconnection isn’t in a romantic sense.

stop killing lgbt characters. stop giving them happiness and then taking it all away just for shock value. it’s not exciting or dramatic. we just want to see them succeed. we want to see them gain and keep something good. we know real life is unfair; fiction doesn’t have to be a gritty reminder of that at every turn. just fucking stop

For those of you who feel like you’ve already read every LGBTQIAP+ book in existence, not to worry – there’s plenty still to come! Every TBRainbow Alert will have a mix of five LGBTQIAP+ titles to make sure are on your radar, along with three reasons why you should know them. If you missed the earlier alerts, you can check out those titles here. And now, the final TBRainbow Alert for 2016!

Title: Cherry (August 16) Author: Lindsey Rosin Genre/Category: Contemporary YA Rainbow details: one of four MCs is bi Why put it on your radar? 1. It really is a YA version of American Pie for girls 2. The friendships and honestly and awkwardness and all of that is so killer 3. This is the kind of book that has only just started getting queer POVs (see Tumbling by Caela Carter, Winning by Lara Deloza) and it’s so, so great. The romance is adorable and it has multiple on-page sex scenes between girls and even that elusive discussion about what constitutes sex between girls.

Title: Keeping Her Secret (August 23) Author: Sarah Nicolas Genre/Category: Contemporary YA Romance Rainbow details: f/f Why put it on your radar? 1. Contemporary f/f YA Romance! Sorry, is that not an auto-add for you somehow? 2. This seems like a book with kissing. I am a fan of such things. 3. You can read a delightful excerpt from it here!

Title: Bad Boy (December 6) Author: Elliot Wake Genre/Category: Contemporary Rainbow details: trans male MC Why put it on your radar? 1. Trans lit by trans authors is super rare and desperately needed, even more so by trans guys 2. Contains characters from author’s earlier works, so if you’ve been looking to see what they’re up to… 3. Wake has a solid track record of having books with the only rep of their kind on brick-and-mortar shelves.

Title: Overexposed (September 20) Author: Megan Erickson Genre/Category: Contemporary NA Romance Rainbow details: m/m, LI is demisexual Why put it on your radar? 1. Demisexuality on the page! Demisexuality on the page! 2. I love this series of Erickson’s, so it’s all instabuy to me. 3. Appalachian Trail setting and recurrence of a familiar character from Out of Frame…

Title: Interborough (October 24) Author: Santino Hassell Genre/Category: Contemporary Romance Rainbow details: m/m, one MC is bi Why put it on your radar? 1. Contains the same characters as Sunset Park, which ordinarily wouldn’t be my thing, except…I’ve read Sunset Park. Yes. I will take another book of them, thanks. (And of course, if that is your kind of thing, this is a dream come true.) 2. I love this series of Hassell’s, so it’s all instabuy to me. (And yes, if that looks familiar above, you may be not at all surprised to learn their coauthored series is also instabuy to me. #sorrynotsorry) 3. On-page rep in m/m romance other than Gay is tough to find, so I love this series in particular for having bisexual Raymond, among others.

TBRainbow Alert #4 For those of you who feel like you’ve already read every LGBTQIAP+ book in existence, not to worry – there’s plenty still to come!
