This wasn't a book for me, as I've outgrown this flavor of teen narrative, but it was a good story.

This was a sweet coming of age queer romance novel between two boys at school. It'll be a great pick for younger teen readers. I enjoyed how the narrative dealt with one of the MC's fear of being out and how the other respected that boundary and was supportive and funny. It's a great uplifting story that young queer kids need to see. 

A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

Some of the things the author said, made me feel like they were out of touch with current queer folks.  Even though the book came out in 2024 a lot of the observations were very dated and incorrect for many of the queer folks that I know.
