Leah Johnson recommends

Under the Neon Lights (2025)
Arriel Vinson
"A novel that pulses with love - for community, for family, for the spaces that make us - and sings with every stanza. UNDER THE NEON LIGHTS is a stunning ode to community that I already know I'll be returning to again and again."

A Love Song for Ricki Wilde (2024)
Tia Williams
"This book reads like the best kind of love song: tender, smart and undeniably sexy. Tia Williams simply doesn't miss."

If Tomorrow Doesn't Come (2023)
Jen St Jude
"This book is devastatingly brilliant. Jen St. Jude is hands down one of the most talented new voices in YA, and soon, everyone will know it."
