Western society is doomed.
Haven’t posted about books in a while. Here are two excellent, dystopian queer novels. Both have teen protagonists, but they’re very suitable for older readers (but no spice, if that’s your preference).

This is at the Buddhist temple in Logan the day after Australia’s federal election: diversity, dynamism, acceptance. This is the Australia we have voted for.

Wide Awake Now is a grim, but ultimately hopeful story about the election in 2024 of the first Jewish and gay president of the US, and revolving around a relationship between two teenage boys. The audiobook really suits this very talky novel. 1/2

Just finished this excellent novel set in my own hometown. If you’re after an adult book that is very queer-centred, this is worth checking out. I really enjoyed it and could relate to the struggle against lack of self-worth. However, it’s ultimately uplifting and affirming. 🌈💙

This was hard to read. Such a devastating story. Definitely not an HEA MM romance.
