<\/figure>\nThe main character of this book is a senior in high school who is applying to an Ivy League college. It focuses on the stress and anxiety that comes with trying to achieve the \u2018perfection\u2019 that getting into these institutions demand.

While I really enjoyed reading this book, it made me really anxious at times. The author did a great job of vividly describing the stress that the protagonist feels. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s all make a conscious effort to read more books that represent various communities. I know I have been guilty in the past of reading a limited demographic of authors and I want to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>This book remains one of the most memorable books I have ever read. It follows twins\u2013 Jude and Noah. Their sibling bond that was once close completely alters due to some circumstances. The romances in this book are heart-breakingly beautiful. The author\u2019s writing style is amazing. If you like to read books featuring art, then you would love this. There are so many fascinating elements to this book. I cannot recommend it enough. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nThis is just a heart-warming, feel-good adorable teen romance.

Book Review: Boy Meets Boy by David\u00a0Levithan<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nFunny Boy by Shyam Selvadurai<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nThis book is set during the Sri Lankan riots and follows Arjie as he grows up and discovers his sexuality. Amidst the tension between the Tamils and Sinhalas, Arjie develops feeling for a Sinhala boy. It is a heart-breaking story with what was happening in Sri Lanka during that time. This is an excellent coming-of-age story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobalt Blue by Sunil Kundalkar <\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nIt\u2019s really hard to describe this book because it is that good. It follows siblings Tanay and Anuja. After the family rents out a room to a young man, both the siblings fall for him. The story is told from each of their perspectives. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nThe Shadowhunter Chronicles is my favourite fantasy universe. I mean, Malec is basically the OTP of every fan of Cassandra Clare\u2019s books. The Dark Artifices series of which Lady Midnight is the first book has some queer characters as well. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Blue Is The Warmest Color by Julie Maroh <\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nThis book is both happy and sad and follows a passionate love story. It does end up being overly dramatic but it\u2019s still a poignant book. The artwork is very appealing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Leah On The Offbeat by Becki Albertalli <\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nThis is the follow-up book to Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda <\/em>and follows Simon\u2019s best friend Leah. While Simon\u2019s story was cute, I liked this book so much more. Leah is just overall a more interesting character who has more depth. It\u2019s a fun book and you can\u2019t help but root for the characters. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nLihaaf by Ismat Chughtai<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nLihaaf<\/em> or The Quilt <\/em>is a short story, originally written in Urdu that was published in 1942.
