Break This House - Candice Iloh

Yaminah Okar left Obsidian and the wreckage of her family years ago. She and her father have made lives for themselves in Brooklyn. She thinks she’s moved on to bigger and better things. She thinks she's finally left behind that city she would rather forget. But when a Facebook message about her estranged mother pierces Yaminah’s new bubble, memories of everything that happened before her parents' divorce come roaring back. Now, Yaminah must finally reckon with the truth about her mother and the growing collapse of a place she once called home.

tw: addiction, cancer, depression, grief, parent death

Break This House by Candice Iloh | Audiobook Review

Break This House by Candice Iloh | Audiobook Review

Why Did I Listen To Break This House by Candice Iloh? Break This House by Candice Iloh seemed like a no brainer when it came to picking something to read/listen to. I thought Iloh’s debut, Every Body Looking was excellent. Also — more people should absolutely be picking up and reading Every Body Looking. And so, seeing as how I need to get through my Volumes app review copies before the app shuts…

Salt the Water by Candice Iloh

Cerulean Gene is free everywhere except school, where they’re known for repeatedly challenging authority. Raised in a free-spirited home by two loving parents who encourage Cerulean to be their full self, they’ve got big dreams of moving cross-country to live off the grid with their friends after graduation. But a fight with a teacher spirals out of control, and Cerulean impulsively drops out to avoid the punishment they fear is coming. Why wait for graduation to leave an oppressive capitalist system and live their dreams?

Cerulean is truly brilliant, but their sheltered upbringing hasn’t prepared them for the consequences of their choice — especially not when it’s compounded by a family emergency that puts a parent out of work. Suddenly the money they’d been stacking with their friends is a resource that the family needs to stay afloat.

Salt the Water is a book about dreaming in a world that has other plans for your time, your youth, and your future. It asks, what does it look like when a bunch of queer Black kids are allowed to dream? And what does it look like for them to confront the present circumstances of the people they love while still pursuing a wildly different future of their own?

From last week: A joyous night at the National Book Awards. So happy to spend time with my fellow judges from 2021, Leslie Connor, Pablo Cartaya, Ibi Zoboi & our fearless leader Cathie Mercier; to sit next to my fellow 2020 finalist Candice Iloh; to hear such empowering & inspiring speeches on the importance of justice, equity, and freedom for readers, writers, librarians, educators, and publishing workers; and of course to see Sabaa Tahir win the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature! ✨

[lgbtqreads]

any book recs with genderfluid main characters? Preferably realistic fiction but anything's fine.

Sure - you can find a longer list here: https://lgbtqreads.com/representation/gender-identity/ under Genderfluid, but for specifically realistic fiction, start with Salt the Water by Candice Iloh, Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin, and The Honeys by Ryan La Sala (which is Horror but in a real world setting), and the already-published adult romances.
