Not a Sci Fi, but I just read a very cute queer YA romance. It’s called “Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl” by Brianna Shrum and Sara Waxelbaum and the main characters are queer and neurodivergent and Jewish. There is no homophobia (though some biphobia), just typical teen angst. I love that one of the main characters is high femme and popular and autistic, because it’s a combo you just don’t usually see. The writing is deliciously sarcastic and funny enough that I’ve been texting Leah screenshots. Anyway, if you need a delightful brain break on this, our Pride Month, I recommend it. #book
ETA: Nyx just finished it and declared it “Glorious.”

I loved it, it was funny, but talked about so many subjects accurately at the same time, biphobia, being queer without the looks, autism... I loved Margo and Abbie and the start of their relationship was chaotic but fun and fresh, no love at first sight, and all the "she's not my type" makes me laugh a lot. I would love to see more Mendel, he could be a great main character for another book ;)
The end was a bit rushed but the book was globally really good with amazing and diverse rep.
