12 Sunny Reads With Pan Rep
Tumblr media
As the days grow longer with the Northern hemisphere well into spring and approaching summer, this time of the year also means Pan Visibility Day! So, I’ve decided to further highlight the growing number of titles of all kinds offering pan rep. In similar fashion to the past for Pan Pride Day with wintry stories, this time I’ve put together a list of 12 examples set around fairer seasons below. Across demographics, several genres and various lengths, the sweet and angsty, feasibly one will fit that next beach read. Or if there’s a chill in the air where you are instead maybe offer a retreat to lands of warmth and sunshine. But no matter what may suit one’s tastes and whims as always happy reading!(For content notes please see my reviews on Storygraph.)

  The Aurora Circus by Viano Oniomoh with families of many forms, mystery, adventure and romance is a lovely, gentle, self-published new adult fantasy novel. The protagonist named Ember (cis bi) is a spiritual medium yet rejects and hides his abilities because of long seated discrimination against magic users and feelings of not belonging anywhere. But recently there is one unusual unearthly woman in need who doesn’t follow the rules and imparts mysterious visions. Visions that intersect with a famous circus and a fire magic using performer named Pyro (trans pan). A man whom Ember shares a mutual attraction with after they meet during a spring festival. Revamped in 2019 from its first form as The Butterfly Finale back in 2016, don’t overlook both this debut novel and its author. 
  Mr. March Names the Stars by Rivka Aarons-Hughes charts a charming romantic short story told partly in epistolatory style set during the summer months and North American Pagan festival circuit. Wes (cis homoromantic asexual) has been garnering all the wrong attention ever since he became Mr. March for a charity calendar but, the published bio was inaccurate. However, he meets and makes a connection with Nash (trans panromantic asexual) the lawyer sent to try to address the error. Sadly, this was a digital-only release from the defunct Less Than Three Press. So hopefully it will return somewhere to gain new readers. I couldn’t help but add it to the list anyway.

  Shifting Tides by Caitlin Ricci and A.M. Burns whisks readers to a summer trip on a barrier island split between Maryland and Virginia, where Adam (trans gay) is left dealing with rejection from his parents after coming out about his gender identity. Taken in by his aunt and uncle, he begins coming into his own along with beginning a relationship with his cousin’s friend Blaine (cis pansexual). This co-written YA title can be a bit simplistic when it comes to gender, so not necessarily a book that will work well for everyone but, has a cute side too. Co-author Caitlin Ricci is also panromantic. OOP ISBN# 9781786860026
  Camp Rewind by Meghan O'Brien has an innovative summer camp, offering a place instead for grown attendees. Alice (lesbian) is following her therapist’s advice in hopes of making progress with the social anxiety troubling her from childhood, while Rosa (pansexual) is searching for a place and a little time where she’s not internet famous harassed and doxxed over critiquing a popular videogame. This adult novel is a steamy retreat with heart in the way it portrays mental health issues.
Tumblr media
  Jess, Chunk, and the Road Trip to Infinity by Kristin Elizabeth Clark sends readers on a cross country summer journey from California to Illinois. After graduating high school Jess (trans) together with bestie Chuck (cis pansexual) hit the road to attend her less than supportive dad’s second wedding. This YA novel inspired by the author’s own child and other trans people she’s met can be fun while also highlighting some issues. But, as may be apparent from the title— fatphobia, while addressed eventually, plus the self-absorbed Jess might have some readers not wanting to go along for the whole ride. Of special note this is also a title that has come up in book challenges and bans.
  Our Own Private Universe by Robin Talley introduces readers to a queer YA novel inspired by Judy Blume’s controversial classic Forever. On a church youth mission trip to Mexico, teen Aki (bisexual) crushes on Christa (pansexual) from another congregation. Summer drama, confusion, lots of working out things in regard to sexuality and social issues, along with to a lesser extent faith are explored. This story of summer firsts is probably most suited for teens, accordingly as the f/f book the queer author wished she had at that age.

  Without a Compass by Helen Juliet gets readers lost in the English countryside with this romance novel. Shy Riley (gay) is reluctantly on a large holiday Scout camping trip in Cumbria for a belated celebration of his dad’s 50th birthday. But the outdoors might just be bearable with his older brother’s friend, not to mention immense softie, Kai (pansexual) also roughing it and who Riley’s been secretly holding a torch for. Kai a bit awestruck by the young man he now sees versus the undistinguished kid of the past decides to befriend Riley, and discovers a magnetism towards him in the process. While Riley has known he was gay and been out from a young age, Kai is just starting to understand himself better searching for language of how people articulate their attraction. Though Kai has some learning to do like other campers when it comes to causal biases. This book really shines at shifting first person perspectives and conveying a picture into each main character’s head. Author Helen Juliet is also pansexual.
Nothing Happened by Molly Booth is a YA retelling of Shakespeare’s punny comedy Much Ado about Nothing with the setting of a summer camp in Maine. Told in multiple perspectives this story of romantic pairings and intrigues between Camp Dogberry counselors is filled with youthful drama and entertaining in its own right. 16-year-old Hana (counterpart to Hero in the original play) is bisexual/pansexual.
Tumblr media
  Cleaning House by Jeanne G'Fellers is the opening volume in the folklore steeped fantasy Appalachian Elementals books. Here Cent (genderqueer pansexual) returns to memories and Tennessee after a corporate downsizing and an appeal to help get the old family homestead in shape before it can be sold. This is a series I love and previously highlighted with its winter holiday installment.
Pretend Girlfriend by Lily Craig opens with perfume heiress Celeste (lesbian) who still hasn’t gotten over the bad break up with her cheating ex. The latter who also had the gall to invite Celeste to her nuptial celebrations involving a cruise on a luxury yacht across the Mediterranean. But rather than mark “will not attend” Celeste indulges the wild idea to hire Lane (pansexual), an aspiring NYC stylist she just met at a fitting and witnessed get fired, to be her fake girlfriend for the trip. Sun, food, beautiful women and beaches this is a nice contemporary new adult book if you are yearning to take a summer vacation abroad of your own. OOP ISBN# 9781720296706

  In Case You Missed It by S.M. James, is the third book in the YA #lovehim series books all around various m/m couples. A lengthy novel set in Northern California’s East Bay, Brooks (gay) is happy but also not happy when Darien (pansexual) the boy he kissed at a holiday party last year ends up moving to town. Like a burst of new life in springtime both boys are in for more than they may have first expected. Brooks doesn’t do relationships or place much stock in the future and tries hard (along with this title’s synopsis) to keep his cystic fibrosis a secret from those outside. And the depiction can be a crux for readers with this title. A character with a chronic illness isn’t one of those things that is some sort of reveal. Despite efforts it is odd that the subject is not treated with all the sensitivity it should be. (Let’s just say my feelings on the story are complicated.) However, it may still touch someone so I chose to still include the novel on the list.
  Fin & Rye & Fireflies by Harry Cook set in Australia begins with Fin, (gay) a teen new to town after he was outed and his conservative religious parents uproot the family. Fin develops a crush on Rye (gay) who has lived in the seaside hamlet his whole life. Along with Fin quickly making fast friends of the outspoken Poppy (pansexual) plus her on-and-off-again girlfriend and leader of the queer-straight alliance at the school June (trans). Rye facing his struggle with anxiety, not helped by being involved in a rocky relationship with a college jock, often finds comfort in the beautiful natural attractions the area offers, an influence of his accepting and hippie mum. So, Fin and Rye end up sharing sweet moments spending time together during the beautiful summer nights. Though these new people in Fin’s life aren’t the sort his parents approve of and unfortunately for Fin he’s also now close to a “therapy camp” (i.e., the conversion sort). Yet, in all this Fin finds feelings of courage and community in the face of intolerance. This YA novel dedicated by the celebrity author to all the LGBTQIA+ love stories he wishes he read as a young gay kid, channeling a little of cult musicals too, is likely to bring all the feels.
