One way is to look for coming - of - age stories in young adult literature sections of libraries or bookstores. Often, these will have themes of self - discovery and friendship which can be applied to lesbian youth stories in a positive and appropriate way.
Online platforms like Goodreads can be useful. You can search for reviews of books that deal with youth relationships in a positive light. There are often lists curated by readers that focus on inclusive and non - explicit stories. For example, some books about female friendships that have undertones of deeper emotional connections that are not sexualized but still show the strength of the relationship between two young women. This can be a great starting point for finding stories similar to what you might be looking for in a non - inappropriate way.
Another option is to ask for recommendations from educators or librarians who are well - versed in young adult literature. They can point you towards books that have positive representations of diverse relationships among young people. These stories can help young lesbian individuals see themselves in literature in a healthy and non - objectifying way. For instance, stories that focus on the journey of self - acceptance, dealing with peer pressure and family reactions in a context that is respectful and suitable for all ages.
