just finished this book, Our Colors, by Gengoroh Tagame. A really sweet coming of age story about a closeted gay boy in high school struggling with crushes and the pressure of having to lie about something fundamental about himself, until one day he has a chance encounter with an older man gay man. I definitely recommend it!

“Hmm,” Eva muttered to herself.
“Something up?” her partner Hannah asked, glancing up from their phone.
“Oh, not really. Nothing bad, at least. It’s just–”
“Yeah?” Hannah asked, leaning forward and putting their phone down on the bed.
“I dunno. I guess… for whatever reason the girl in the mirror today is kinda cute, I think.”
“Aww,” Hannah said. “I mean, I think you’re cute every day, but I’m glad this time you agree.” They got up off the bed and walked over to give Eva a hug.
Eva hugged them back. “I love you,” she told Hannah.
“Gay!” Hanna said. “Love you too.”
