Thank you for this list!! Where's a good place to start? Any easy recommendations?
I recommend Tarnished are the Stars and Don't Let the Forest In!
Loveless didn't work for me at all
Thanks for the recs! Loveless has been on my radar for a while, I just never picked it up. Though tbf I read I Was Born For This and didn't love it.
Honestly, I haven't read most of these yet. HOWEVER, I highly recommend Love Letters For Joy by Melissa See. It's such a good book and also includes disability rep as far as the main character goes. It also has pan rep. It's one of my favorite books and one I never get tired of recommending. I genuinely believe it's a book that every ace person should read. Especially disabled aces. I will include a trigger warning for homophobic parents though, on the MMC's side.
I can't speak to how they end and how I'll enjoy them once I'm done, but I'm currently reading Loveless and Dear Wendy, and am loving them so far đ
