What If It's Us
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 810L · 2020
A genuinely funny, tender romance that doesn't shy away from what falling in love feels like at 16—crushes, self-doubt, miscommunication, and joy—with authentic queer representation and zero preachy undertones.
Amelia, If Only
Young adult · ages 13–17 · 850L · 2025
Albertalli’s signature blend of sharp wit and genuine emotional vulnerability makes this a standout for teens navigating identity questions.
Imogen, Obviously
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L · 2023
Warm, funny coming-out story with genuinely sharp dialogue and a protagonist's voice that lands — Albertalli's trademark humor keeps it light without trivializing the real stakes of claiming queer identity.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 780L · 2018
Genuinely funny, emotionally honest queer romance that treats coming out as the high-stakes, private, messy thing it actually is—not an after-school-special moment.
