Follow Your Arrow by Jessica Verdi and I Think I Love You by Auriane Desombre both came out on March 2, and I read them for that week’s All the Books podcast. Either one of them would have been a step forward in bi representation in YA, never mind both at once! Oddly enough, Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales followed a week later, out on March 9. They all not only have bi main characters, but discuss the particular experiences of facing biphobia (internal and external) in a way I’ve rarely seen articulated in fiction — not just homophobia, but its own complicated kind of bigotry. This made me start thinking about other YA books that have also touched on this, and I wanted to put them into conversation. These all have bi women main characters, and most of them are in M/F relationships. Did I miss any of your favorite books that combat biphobia? Let me know! And if you liked this post, check out:
