• The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta -- From acclaimed UK poet and performer Dean Atta, The Black Flamingo is a fierce coming-of-age story about Michael, a mixed-race gay teen growing up in London. All his life, he’s navigated what it means to be Greek and Jamaican—but never quite feeling Greek or Black enough. When he discovers the Drag Society, he finally finds where he belongs—and the Black Flamingo is born. Told with raw honesty, insight, and lyricism, this debut explores the layers of identity that make us who we are—and allow us to shine.
• The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth -- Two girls embark on a summer of dates in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com from Belfast author Ciara Smyth. Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn’t looking for a relationship, but when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. But Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall—no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they didn’t fall in love for real. Ciara Smyth’s debut is a delightful, multilayered story that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love.
