  I have reviewed many books about queer/homosexual relationships here, and as a final blog post, I want to share my favorite! I will have a short summary for each book, and then explain my thoughts on them. First up, from my first blog, is "Heartstopper" by Alice Oseman. This series of book-turned-to-tv stories has been largely impactful ever since its release. The development of the main relationship between Nick and Charlie is marvelously written, along with other relationships in their growing friend group. Navigating queer identity as a whole is a major theme in this series. As mentioned in the blog about Heartstopper, the overall message is hope that wherever you go, "people will accept you for being you ." Second is "Bloom" by Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau. It is about the relationship between two very different people: Ari and Hector. Ari is quite troublesome,  wanting to move into the city in a problematic band with his friends, away from hi...

Throughout this mysterious and dangerous world, Scarlett creates new alliances with people, while also meeting previous enemies. All of these new relations cause Scarlett to really wonder who she should consider her friend and who she should consider her enemy.      As a reader, one of the most compelling aspects of "Finale" is its exploration of love and sacrifice. As Scarlett and Tella confront their pasts and explore the possibilities for their futures, they discover a strong inner strength between the two of them and resilience they never knew th...
