This week’s list is basically one big group hug for anyone who read Darius and immediately needed to cry, laugh, or scream into a pillow. These six books deliver queer longing, chaotic friendships, emotional gut punches, and yes, plenty of romantic panic. Grab your annotated copy, light a candle, and prepare to feel everything.

Two boys. One summer. A story of lust, love, and the complicated space in between. A Queer romance/drama set in picturesque France.
