I'm just getting into queer literature. So far I've read GenderQueer by Maia Kobabe (it is a comic-style memoir), Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin (it's about a genderfluid teenager), and Gender Euphoria by Laura Kate Dale (short stories about trans/nb peoples experiences with gender euphoria). I liked them all but I really liked the art in GenderQueer.

Out of the books you listed, which one was your favourite and the one you would recommend?

So that’s exactly what I don’t want to read haha

Well, it depends what you like. A Little Life is very depressing and has a lot of abuse in it, but it’s a beautiful story. Super long, but I couldn’t put it down.

Detransition, Baby is quite interesting but it can be triggering for some trans ppl imho

Permafrost is light and funny

Conversations with friends is Rooney’s book so it’s slow and “boring” but I like it. It just happens to have queer characters which I like.

You exist too much is very interesting book about Palestinian women and her relationships with others.

Yeah, I figured they may not be your thing. Sorry. I think I might give Permafrost a try though. Thanks for the recs.
