wow, this book was basically like attaching a funnel to my brain and dumping hundreds of blended-up queer ya novels right inside! extremely pleasurable, if you're a queer-ya lit nerd (which, obviously, i am)

4,5/5 só porque acho que ele poderia ser maior e abordar outros livros - mais da metade dos capítulos se concentra nos mesmos autores e nas mesmas obras.
É uma leitura indispensável, porém, para quem estuda o gênero e tem uma metodologia clara e simples, pronta pra ser usada em outras pesquisas também.

Really well researched and informative, while being enjoyable to read. A good feat! Explains my current to-read attack.

What I've learned so far: Between 1969 and 2004, 200 books with LGBTQ content aimed at the young adult audience were published in the US. That's such a miniscule amount! It has increased over the years, of course.

I have other thoughts about how much I love the authors' treatment of this subject, but maybe I'll get back to that later.
