3. This Rebel Heart by Katherine Locke
Located in the center of Budapest is a river. The water is magical, as Csilla is aware. The river protected her family during WWII when they most needed it—safe from the Holocaust. However, that was before the Communists took control. Before the Soviet police killed her parents. Csilla wishes she could forget the things she learned about her father’s history before. Csilla is currently preparing her escape from this nation that has never loved her as much as she loves it while keeping her head down. But when her parents are abruptly and publically cleared, all of her carefully thought out plans fall apart.
Csilla must choose whether she believes in the potential and magic of her very flawed country enough to sacrifice her life in order to help rescue it or if she should let it burn to the ground as talk of a greater revolution in Hungary grows as a result of the uprisings in other countries. This Rebel Heart is Katherine Locke’s masterpiece, featuring gay representation, fabulist elements, and a crucial but obscure historical period.

To continue the ruse, they decide to spend the holidays together at his family’s cabin.

5. Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie
Ophelia Rojas is aware of her preferences, which include her closest friends, Cuban cuisine, rose gardening, and way too many boys. Ophelia has a never-ending string of crushes, which her friends and parents tease about, but Ophelia is a romantic at heart. Even if she wanted to, she could not alter it.
Therefore, seeds of doubt start to grow in Ophelia’s rigid self-image as she starts to think more about cute, quiet Talia Sanchez than the loss of a beautiful prom with her ex-boyfriend. Things are starting to get a touch out of hand when you include in the imminent end of high school and the disintegration of her formerly close-knit group of friends. But the sexual and romantic paths were never straight.
Ophelia must decide whether to hold on to the idealized picture of herself that she has always imagined or defy everyone’s expectations in order to realize who she truly is as her secrets start to come out.
