June is Pride Month! I did a post last year of some of my favorite LGBTQ+ reads and this time around, I thought that I would help jumpstart your summer TBR lists with specific summer LGBTQ+ BOOKS. Everyone has been making this post lately, but I thought I would add some of my favorites.
All of these books take place during the summertime and feature a main character(s) who identify on the LGBTQ+ scale.

- The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding
