NB: Welcome to Flashback Friday! Carrie reviewed Dreadnought, a superhero story with a transgender teen that was a bit disappointing. If you’re looking for more transgender characters, especially in romance, check out our previous Rec League! This post was originally published December 22, 2016.
Last month, we had a Rec League with a focus on lesbian romances and there were some amazing recommendations. Hopefully, we can repeat that success with transgender romances! I recently did a post for Book Riot where I tried to find some LGBTA+ holiday romances, but it was deceptively hard to find romances that focuses on couples who weren’t strictly gay or lesbian. But I know there are romances out there with these characters!
From SBTB HQ, we only have a few suggestions from our brains.
Sarah: Roller Girl by Vanessa North! ( A | BN | K | AB )
Butch and the Beautiful ( A | BN | K | AB ) had a secondary character who may have been exploring.
Amanda: If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo ( A | BN | K | G | AB ) is highly recommended, though I haven’t read it yet. It’s also a YA title.
Carrie: Courtney Milan’s Hold Me! ( A | K | G | AB )
Know any other transgender romances? Or books with romantic elements that feature transgender characters? Please give us all the recommendations!
Flaunt by E. Davies was just released today and has a trans MC. On KU.
Oh! And Endless, Forever by EM Lindsey. Also KU.
