Empress of the World by Sara Ryan

4.0

While I never read the other books in this series, I read Empress of the World back when I was in middle or high school originally - I forget which precisely. It was one of the first few lesbian love stories I was able to get my hands on and it is one I still think of fondly even now. It deals with homophobia and coming of age and it felt very real and meant a lot to me back then. I think the story still holds up now as well.
