shoutout to parent-ified eldest kids who never ever ever no matter what take out their pain or trauma or bitterness on their younger siblings (or alternatively actively teach themselves not to even if their relationship with their parents is absolutely broken and it hurts like hell to try because their sibling's isn't) and instead do everything to make sure they never have to go through the same thing or repress their feelings and always have a built-in best friend. and maybe develop a little bit of a mom complex along the way all while doing everything in their power not to become their parents. gotta be one of my favourite genders

read my full review of everyone wants to know by kelly loy gilbert here.

This ripped-from-the-tabloids young adult drama by the critically acclaimed author Kelly Loy Gilbert about a girl’s famous-for-being-famous family fracturing from within as their dirty laundry gets exposed.

The Lo family sticks together. That’s what Honor has been told her whole life while growing up in the glare of the public eye on Lo and Behold, the reality show about her, her four siblings, and their parents.

Their show may be off the air, but the Lo family members still live in the spotlight as influencers churning out podcasts, bestselling books, and brand partnerships. So when Honor’s father announces that he’s moving out of their northern California home to rent an apartment in Brooklyn, Honor’s personal upset becomes the internet’s trending B-list celebrity trainwreck—threatening the aspirational image the Los’ brand (and livelihood) depends on.

After one of her best friends leaks their private conversation to a gossip site, bruised and betrayed Honor pours all her energy into reuniting her family. With her parents 3,000 miles apart, her siblings torn into factions, and all of them under claustrophobic public scrutiny, this is easier said than done. Just when Honor feels at her lowest, a guarded yet vulnerable boy named Caden comes into her life and makes her want something beyond the tight Lo inner circle for the first time. But is it fair to open her heart to someone new when the people she loves are teetering on the edge of ruin?

As increasingly terrible secrets come to light about the people Honor thought she knew best in the world, she’s forced to choose between loyalty to her family and fighting for the life she wants.

my review:

I’ve been recommended Kelly Loy Gilbert’s books for such a long time, and I’ve really been meaning to finally picking them up. However, as soon as I read the summary for her next release, it was immediately one of my most anticipated books of this year and it did not disappoint! Full of imperfect characters and complicated love, Everyone Wants to Know follows a family falling apart in the public eye and the daughter doing everything she can to keep them together.

The Los are a famous family after having their own reality show that ended a few years ago. Now, almost all of them are influencers in a way, except for Honor and her twin brother Atticus, the two youngest of the family and the only ones who don’t keep a public profile. When their parents sit the whole family down to discuss their separation, the family is understandably devastated. To make matters worse, Honor’s two best friends leak private information to the media, and in the aftermath of everything, her mother moves her and Atticus to the city where she grew up. There, Honor meets Caden, an emotionally closed-off boy who she can’t help but be drawn to. Throughout it all, Honor tries her hardest to keep her family together until all the secrets come out and possibly destroy them all.

It’s been a long time since I’ve read such a nuanced book in YA, with such unlikable characters that you also can relate to, or at least understand why they do what they do. This book is also definitely a commentary on growing up in the public eye and the consequences of never really having privacy in your life. I’ll get more into that soon, but I wanted to highlight how much I loved the complexity and emotional weight of this book.

Kismat Connection by Ananya Devarajan

Is it possible to change your fate? Madhuri Iyer is doomed. Doomed for her upcoming senior year to be a total failure, according to her astrology-obsessed mother, and doomed to a happily ever after with her first boyfriend, according to her family curse.

Determined to prove the existence of her free will, Madhuri devises an experimental relationship with the one boy she knows she’ll never fall for: her childhood best friend, Arjun Mehta. But Arjun’s feelings for her are a variable she didn’t account for. As Madhuri starts to fall for her experimental boyfriend, she’ll have to decide if charting her own destiny is worth breaking Arjun’s heart—and her own.

Boundless: Twenty Voices Celebrating Multicultural and Multiracial Identities edited by Ismée Amiel Williams and Rebecca Balcárcel When identities cross boundaries, with love that knows no bounds. From platonic and romantic love to grief and heartbreak, these stories explore navigating life at the intersection of identities, and what it means to grow up surrounded by a multitude of traditions, languages, cultures, and interpersonal dynamics. Returning to a father’s homeland. Trying to fit in at chaotic weddings and lavish birthday parties where not all are welcome. Processing grief at family gatherings. Figuring out how to share the news of a new relationship with loved ones. This collection celebrates multicultural and multiracial characters at the helm of their own narratives, as they approach life with a renewed sense of hope and acceptance.

Featuring original stories from: Adi Alsaid Rebecca Balcárcel Akemi Dawn Bowman Anika Fajardo Shannon Gibney I.W. Gregorio Veera Hiranandani Nasugraq Rainey Hopson Emiko Jean Erin Entrada Kelly Torrey Maldonado Mélina Mangal Goldy Moldavsky Randy Ribay Loriel Ryon Tara Sim Eric Smith Jasmine Warga Ismée Williams Karen Yin

What She Missed by Liara Tamani When Ebony and her parents move from Houston, Texas, to her grandmother’s house in a small lake town, Ebony is sure her life is doomed. And to make matters worse, the ghost of Ebony’s beloved grandmother—a strong swimmer who tragically drowned in the lake—is everywhere. Alula Lake does offer one perk: reconnecting Ebony with her childhood friend, Jalen. But as Ebony settles into life, she finds herself drifting away from Jalen and gravitating to his older sister, Lena. Lena is chaotic, disorderly, and rebellious, yet she offers a reprieve for the anger and sadness Ebony feels about losing so much.

An ode to nature, art, friendship, history, family, and love, this lyrical coming-of-age story explores one girl’s summer of self-discovery as she reimagines the world and her place in it. What She Missed is for fans of Sarah Dessen, Nina LaCour, and Nicola Yoon.

Under-the-Gaydar YA M/M??

Try Proxy by Alex London (sci-fi), Indivisible by Daniel Aleman (contemporary, light on romance but it’s there), Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria (4-POV fantasy, two of which are queer guys who pair up), Picture Us in the Light by Kelly Loy Gilbert (literary contemporary with a great romance), The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey (similar to BtC but bigger cast - think 6oC in terms of m/m), The Wicker King by K. Ancrum (psych thriller), and just to give a list of under-the-gaydar queer male rep that’s mostly not romance, I’ll add this list: https://lgbtqreads.com/category/under-the-gaydar/
