| Beschreibung: | When entering a bookstore, one doesn’t have to look far to find the designated tables and bookshelves laden with colorfully bright books labeled as Queer YA and #booktok recommendations. This phenomenon has become increasingly widespread over the last few years as the genre of Queer YA and particularly Queer YA Romance has gained in popularity, growing a community of dedicated readers, on- and offline. This reading community overlaps and merges with queer communities, creating a complexity often overlooked in the genre itself by critics who tend to dismiss flamboyant covers and stories written for young, teenage hearts. Likewise, even the most dedicated of readers often focus their attention on the romantic relationships portrayed rather than on the aspects of community represented in the novels. Romance plots often cannot be completed without a queer community the protagonists can refer and relate to, which is why the tropes employed in these novels tend to tie in the romantic relationship with a larger thematic exploration of identity and self-discovery.
