Well, there's also 'Fairest' by Meredith Russo. It's a story about a transgender girl, Aimee, growing up in a small town. It delves deep into her experiences, her struggles, and her journey towards self - acceptance. It's an important read for understanding the transgender experience within the context of fiction.
One book from that list could be 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller. It beautifully retells the story of Achilles and Patroclus, exploring their relationship in a way that's both poignant and engaging.
Another one might be 'Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda' by Becky Albertalli. It's a great coming - of - age story about a gay teen, Simon, dealing with his identity and first love. The story is really relatable and heartwarming.
