“Him” was the first adult m/m I ever read, and it opened the floodgates for me for ALL LBGTQ+ books. It has a special place in my ❤
Great list!
I’ve read Carry On, Simon vs…, and Everything Leads to You. The first two were quite cute, but I really loved the language in the last one. There were some lovely turns of phrases. https://caitlinsternwrites.wordpress.com/2016/06/28/top-ten-tues-8/
I have read Simon Vs., and More Happy Than Not and I plan on reading Carry On at some point. Great list. 🙂
I so agree with Him! I love Jamie and Wes! 🙂 Great choices for this topic.

Thanks for the recommendations. I have read The Summer I wasn’t Me and Carry On which I loved and Miseducation of Cameron Post which I didn’t finish. Also liked And I Darken, Aristotle and Dante and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. My TTT
I haven’t read any of these books, but if you’re looking for more LGBT books, I highly recommend ‘Highly Illogical Behavior’ and ‘The Abyss Surrounds Us'(which is scifi instead of contemp, but an awesome read all the same.) I’ll have to look into some of the books you’ve suggested above, as well!
