Queereaders discussion

Hi everyone!

So this is a weirdly specific request. I just finished reading "Love and Other Disasters" by Anita Kelly, and I realised this is the first book I've ever read with a non-binary/genderqueer character using they/them pronouns, that is told in the 3rd person and not 1st person. So I'm looking for more!

The reason I'm specifically looking for 3rd person POV is because I want to see ALL the Theys and Thems every time the character is mentioned. When a book is written in first person, it's mostly "I did this, I said this", and you only see the they/them pronouns when other characters talk about them. Because I didn't grow up with they/them pronouns in books (or life), my brain still gets surprised to see "they" referring to a single person, and I want to get more used to it. Even by the end of "Love and Other Disasters" I could feel my brain getting accustomed to it. It was a good feeling!

I like contemporary YA, or cute adult romance. I don't like fantasy or supernatural romance. Hoping someone can help me with some recommendations!

Can’t remember 100% if it’s in 3rd person, but Chef’s Kiss by TJ Alexander was great.

Thank you so much! That one was recommended to me on Twitter as well!

If you don't mind self rec, I have one called Gemini's Rogue. The main character is gender fluid, uses they them pronouns, and it is in 3rd person with all the they/thems on the page.
