In recognition of LGBT Pride Month, The Conversation reached out to Jonathan Alexander – an English professor with a scholarly interest in the interplay between sexuality and literature – for recommendations of young adult fiction books that feature LGBTQ characters. What follows is a list that Alexander, who has just stepped down as the children’s and young adult fiction section editor for the Los Angeles Review of Books, considers as “must-reads” for this summer.

1. Darius the Great Is Not Okay

• Still, Darius’ family pulls together, even making a trip to Iran to visit relatives.
• While there, Darius learns about his cultural background as Persian, makes a lifelong friend in an Iranian cousin, and considers his own sexuality.
• And there are a lot of sweet touches throughout, including a love of tea and “Star Trek.” Highly recommended for its sensitivity and authenticity.

2. Lark & Kasim Start a Revolution

• Lark and Kasim are old friends whose relationship has seen better days.
• Lark is working hard at being a writer while also trying to help Kasim figure out how to handle the complexities of living at least part of their young lives in the shadows of social media.

• Malinda Lo’s National Book Award-winning novel is set in mid-20th-century San Francisco, in a Chinese American immigrant community in which Lily Hu has to learn to deal with racism, the “Red Scare” and the possibility that she might be a lesbian.
• A masterwork of historical young adult literature, “Last Night at the Telegraph Club” introduces readers to how lesbian communities formed – and thrived – even during some of the most repressive and homophobic moments in U.S. history.

4. Café Con Lychee

• “Café Con Lychee” shows how love survives economic challenges and family foibles as the two young men move from rivalry to romance.
• A sweet and nourishing tale, the book offers readers a relatable glimpse into making it – and making out – during a time of economic upheaval.

5. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

• Ari and Dante, from two different walks of life, learn to find love and self-acceptance in this beautifully written book.
• At the start of the book, Ari is dealing with family trouble, including a brother in prison, and Dante is perhaps a bit too smart for his own good.
