The best LGBTQIA+ YA books to read right now
There is no better feeling than the pleasure of racing through a excellent book to figure out how it’s going to end. This is especially true when the guide is a funny, twisty-turny, or pacy story of mishaps and (mis)adventures with a main character you can believe in, a love interest to lust after, and a cast of out and confident queer characters. In recent years, the choice of YA novels with just those ingredients has joyfully expanded and diversified – and it’s not just teenagers who have been enjoying all the reading fun.
In the list below, you’ll find seaside romances, road trip misfortunes, nightclubs to swoon over, and revelations to shock and delight.

It’s finally June and that means Pride month, one of the most joyous months of the year! While there is a lot of big scary stuff going on in the world, I trust that you get the chance to still commemorate Pride and indulge in some queer joy this month. One thing that always brings me happiness is BOOKS, particularly lgbtq+ books, and I’m always on the hunt for more to read. It can also be entertaining to take this month as an opportunity to challenge yourself and your reading, or push yourself outside of your comfort zone…or just catch up on that towering TBR pile! That’s where the A-Z challenges come in!
A-Z reading challenges can be as structured or as casual as you’d enjoy them to be, which is why I uncover them fun. Essentially, you pick a book to correspond with each letter of the alphabet. You can go in alphabetical order or read all over, but either way you’re going to be reading 26 great books. I came up with an A-Z reading list for queer YA books, and let me inform you, it was really hard to narrow it down, because there are just so many fantastic books out there!
