We accompany them on their first few dates and learn about how they started falling in love. Ciela is also a pastelería witch — she can sense exactly which dessert a customer wants, magic she's inherited from her grandmother — but after the assault, her magic leaves her. Is it worth seeing so much success if they can never enjoy that success as their true selves?
As some gaps widen and others close altogether, Ruben and Zach find themselves falling head over heels for one another, and the only question left is one that neither of them wants to ask.
After all, all it has done is push him around and make him feel inadequate at even the most basic tasks. I was delighted to find out that there was still so much growth in store for Oliver and Luc. That, combined with how dynamic the side characters were, made for a wonderful sequel. She does so with varied success despite the way his friends frequently feel about her.
Life’s situations were different than they once were. Management is pressing in on the two, and Ruben is constantly feeling more and more pressure from the big lie he’s been telling for as long as they’ve been famous.

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren
It seems that each of the lists of books with gay main characters ends up having at least one pun in it, and Autoboyography’s title makes certain that this tradition remains unbroken.
Neither of them can name a single thing, but the fact remains. When she makes a pact with a dangerous fairy, she thinks she’ll finally be able to live in the land of fairy tales. Bad Habit

This Spanish-translated book tells the story of a young person as they navigate both their place in the world and their gender identity through the decades.
Bonus points for the fact that Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick are hilariously cute on TikTok. Released in 2010 amongst the first true waves of queer YA fiction taking hold and gaining popularity, the book follows the tale of two very different Will Grayson and their fateful meeting one cold night on the streets of Chicago.
What follows from there is the close, inseparable intertwining of the two’s lives and a deep exploration of both of their lives.
That’s up for the twins to decide and fate to drive home.

The Past and Other Things That Should Stay Buried by Shaun Hutchinson
Dino’s used to things dying and being dead. Our main couple seemed to be in a good place.
However, the biggest upswings in queer characters in modern times came with the Renaissance and the Stonewall Riots. Alongside her sort-of girlfriend Britt, Mia must decode a message left to her by her long dead mother. Last Night at the Telegraph Club

Starting the list off strong with a young adult historical fiction novel about a young girl in Chinatown who finds herself at a late-night lesbian club.
On the other hand, Dyl is a ‘Bad’ – shaped by his rugged attire, brash attitude, and inclination to make more enemies than friends.
When the rivalry heats up, so does the tension between the two Love Interests, and they end up falling closer to each other than they are truly comfortable with. Keep in mind that these are simply my opinions, and as a result of that these books tend to skew towards queer women and nonbinary people, given that these are the people I identify with most strongly.
