One of the point of view characters is queer, with a girlfriend.
This book follows two childhood best friends through the dissolution of their friendship as they head off to college. What a way to kick off the decade! Here we go! Winter We Used to Be Friends by Amy Spalding I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy as I’ve not read all of these books! Either way, they all sound amazing and are sure topple your TBR. In some instances, I’ve had to rely on what other readers have said about the book. I’ve also done my best to confirm that a central, point of view, or in the case of ensembles casts, a significant female-identifying character is queer, but in a couple of cases I have assumed such character exists based on the author’s body of previous work. This list is by no means complete as publishers aren’t always great about marketing their releases as LGBTQ+ interest.
I did not expect to find an explosion of queer girl YA, but it looks like 2020 is shaping up to be a very gay year! And what’s more, this list is actually more diverse than any in years past (although we could always do better on this front). When I set out to compile a list of YA books starring queer girls as protagonists and point-of-view characters hitting shelves in 2020, I had hoped to find that the number of books releasing had gone up from last year.
