One title, a novel called “Patricia Wants to Cuddle,” is marketed as “perfect for queer reality TV fans who enjoy the absurd or grotesque” and described as “weird and wacky.”

The book description states that it is “a love story: between ill-fated lesbians who rise above their intolerant city, a deeply ambivalent woman and her burgeoning self-realization, and a group of islanders who form a community despite all adversities.”

Another book on the list, The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School, is a novel that explores the “difficult aspects of being gay and of color in a racist and homophobic environment.”

The story follows a Mexican-American student who identifies as queer and her daily life at an elite Catholic school, including her struggle to pass as straight and the question, “WWSGD: What would a straight girl do?”
