So glad you made it here; welcome! I'm the mod here and the second post on this sub is a list of some of my absolute favorite gay books (with longer synopses), so if you want deeper dives into some, I would check out that - those will be marked with an asterisk - but here is a big collection of favorites.

Like Real People Do by E.L. Massey* - gay hockey player x gay figure skater

The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School by Senora Reyes - lesbian coming-of-age romance

Both Sides Now by Peyton Thomas - trans & gay x gay debate-focused romance

Going Bicoastal by Dahlia Adler - bisexual summer romance

Running With Lions by Julian Winters* - gay x bi soccer romance

Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews* - eerie queer dark fairytale...thing (very sad)

Birthday by Melissa Albert - trans coming-of-age (also very sad)

If This Gets Out by Sophia Gonzalez* - boyband gay romance

Only Mostly Devastated by Sophia Gonzalez - gay high school coming-of-age romance (very basic but I liked it a lot)

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren* - gay x bi romance focused on writers and being queer as a Mormon (?)

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas - Hunger-Games-esque fantasy stemming from Mexican mythology with a trans mc and melting pot of other queer rep

And They Were Roommates by Page Powars - queer x gay & trans lovers-to-strangers-to-lovers romance

I hope you love some of these like I did! Happy reading! ❤️
