But when her deep desire to please kicks into overdrive, Amy’s precarious balancing act strains her relationships to the breaking point, and she must decide what it looks like to be true to herself — and if she has the courage to try.

    Marriage of a Thousand Lies

    by SJ Sindu

    Lucky and her husband, Krishna, are gay. They present an illusion of marital bliss to their conservative Sri Lankan-American families, while each dates on the side. As Lucky — an outsider no matter what choices she makes — is pushed to the breaking point, Marriage of a Thousand Lies offers a vivid exploration of a life lived at a complex intersection of race, sexuality, and nationality. A necessary and exciting addition to both the Sri Lankan-American and LGBTQ canons, SJ Sindu’s debut novel offers a moving and sharply rendered exploration of friendship, family, love, and loss.

    Last Night at the Telegraph Club

    by Malinda Lo

    Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the feeling took root — that desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father — despite his hard-won citizenship — Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.

    The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers

    by Adam Sass

    Micah Summers runs a popular Instagram full of drawings of his numerous imaginary boyfriends (ninety-nine so far) — though he’s never had a real boyfriend before. But when a meet-cute with Boy 100 goes wrong, Micah embarks on a Prince Charming-like quest throughout Chicago to find true love — for real this time.

    Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar’s throne and the future queen her realm needs. She isn’t bothered by Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the dark magic that runs in her veins. A princess isn’t supposed to fall for an evil sorceress. But in this retelling of Sleeping Beauty, true love is more than a simple fairy tale.

    by Jennifer Dugan

    Fallon is Type A, looks before she leaps, and always has a plan. Chloe is happy-go-lucky, flies by the seat of her pants, and always follows her bliss. The two girls used to be best friends, but last summer they hooked up and after a series of misunderstandings, haven’t spoken since. They are trying their best to avoid each other, which is difficult since their moms own a gourmet ice cream truck together. When they both work on the truck over the summer, tensions heat up again as they face a few unexpected detours — and more than a little roadside attraction. But maybe, just maybe, the best things in life can’t always be planned.

    Spencer Harris seems to have it all: a decent shot at a starting position on the boy’s soccer team, great friends, and maybe even something more than friendship with one of his teammates. The only problem is, no one at school knows Spencer is trans — he’s passing. Spencer has to decide if he should be true to himself even though it means coming out to everyone — including the guy he’s falling for.

    Something to Talk About

    by Meryl Wilsner

    Hollywood powerhouse Jo is photographed making her assistant Emma laugh on the red carpet, and just like that, the tabloids declare them a couple. The so-called scandal couldn’t come at a worse time — threatening Emma’s promotion and Jo’s new movie. With the launch of Jo’s film project fast approaching, the two women begin to spend even more time together, getting along famously. Emma seems to have a sixth sense for knowing what Jo needs. And Jo, known for being aloof and outwardly cold, opens up to Emma in a way neither of them expects. They begin to realize the rumor might not be so off base after all … but is acting on the spark between them worth fanning the gossip flames?

    by C. S. Pacat

    Damen is a warrior hero to his people, and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos. But when his half brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity, and sent to serve the prince of an enemy nation as a pleasure slave. Beautiful, manipulative, and deadly, his new master, Prince Laurent, epitomizes the worst of the court at Vere. But in the lethal political web of the Veretian court, nothing is as it seems, and when Damen finds himself caught up in a play for the throne, he must work together with Laurent to survive and save his country. For Damen, there is just one rule: never, ever reveal his true identity. Because the one man Damen needs is the one man who has more reason to hate him than anyone else…

    Full Disclosure

    by Camryn Garrett

    Simone Garcia-Hampton is starting over at a new school. She’s making real friends, making a name for herself as student director of Rent, and making a play for Miles, the guy who makes her melt every time he walks into a room. The last thing she wants is for word to get out that she’s HIV-positive. As Simone and Miles start going out for real — shy kisses escalating into much more — she feels an uneasiness that goes beyond butterflies. She knows she has to tell him that she’s positive, especially if sex is a possibility, but she’s terrified of how he’ll react! As she gains a deeper understanding of the prejudice and fear in her community, she begins to wonder if the only way to rise above is to face the haters head-on. Full Disclosure is the  uplifting story of a bisexual teen, falling in love and learning to live her truth.

    I’m So (Not) Over You

    by Kosoko Jackson

    It’s been months since aspiring journalist Kian Andrews has heard from his ex-boyfriend, Hudson Rivers, but an urgent text has them meeting at a cafe. Kian is hoping for an apology, but instead Hudson has a favor to ask — he wants Kian to pretend to be his boyfriend while his parents are in town, and Kian reluctantly agrees. The dinner doesn’t go exactly as planned, and suddenly Kian is Hudson’s plus one to Georgia’s wedding of the season. Even more troubling is that their fake relationship is starting to feel like it might be more than a means to an end, and it’s time for both men to fact-check their feelings.

    Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes — it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn’t hate is the music. Feeling an audience’s energy as they lose themselves in Riven’s music is a rush unlike anything else . . . until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They’re all he can think about. But Caleb’s no groupie — and one night with him won’t be enough.

    by Robert Jackson Bennett

    Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks, is nothing her unique abilities can’t handle. But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. Now someone in those Houses wants Sancia dead, and in the city of Tevanne, there’s nobody with the power to stop them. To have a chance at surviving — and at stopping the deadly transformation that’s under way — Sancia will have to marshal unlikely allies, learn to harness the artifact’s power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined.
