Gay romance books
If you’re anything like me, you’re always searching for that next great operate of fiction—something you can pick up but can’t put down, something that whips you up into its own story and simultaneously gets you to think about what parts of it reflect your own life. If you’re a little bit more like me, a fine gay romance will sate your appetite while you search. Male-male and more often than not white-white relationships have historically enjoyed the most media visibility of all LGBTQ subcommittees. On the one hand, that means countless gender non-conforming experiences remain in the shadows, and people with less privileged identities may have difficulty finding themselves on general LGBTQ reading lists. On the other, this genre has a lot of books to choose from! Here I’ve ranked my favorite 10 of this guilty pleasure of mine. Read through to pick up your next summer read! Or simply peruse the ranking so you can touch like you’re the most well-read in your eating club (and end up finding one you’ll like).
