Today we have two LGBTQ+ books for you–one about two young women trying to find their way amidst the civil unrest in 1970’s Jamaica and another that’s a collection of short stories that all highlight the ace spectrum!

SONGS OF IRIE BY ASHA ASHANTI BROMFIELD

“Jamaican history, provocative lyricism, and relatable characters form an effective foundation for this bittersweet queer love story. A richly intimate novel of rebellion, romance, and reggae.”
Kirkus Reviews
