HarperTeen
And I mean that literally because this book follows a merperson.
Need I say more?
Perhaps it was too white or too straight for me.

Kokila
The book is a coming of age story for when you’re already an adult.
It’s soft and beautiful while it deals with the ways life can be hard and ugly.
Hilarious and full of heart, this book was such a joy to read.

Park Row
More Isaac, more Diegomore from Julian!
The book is so sweet and delightful, celebrating queer happy endings in all the right ways.
And if you love a good geeky love triangle?

HarperCollins
A truly fresh and modern fairytale, this book is hilarious, charming, and refreshingly earnest.
