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.”
